Japan Expo is a convention on all things Japanese, taking place in Paris, France. It is held yearly in the beginning of July, for three days (usually from Friday to Sunday).
The first exposition took place in 2000 and welcomed 3,200 visitors, a number which has grown steadily. In 2002, Japan Expo was hosted at the Center of New Industries and Technologies (CNIT) in La Défense, Paris.
In 2005, the event was canceled out of security concerns due to the large amount of visitors. The exposition has since moved to the larger Parc d'Expositions in Paris-Nord Villepinte.
