Asahikawa, known as the sacred ground for furniture making, overlooks Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan’s largest national park. Blessed by majestic nature, a tradition of craftsmanship passed down through generations, and internationally acclaimed design, Asahikawa is proud to be recognized as one of Japan’s top five furniture-producing regions. This year, utilizing the full infrastructure of our proud manufacturing hub, we will host the Asahikawa Furniture Exhibition as part of the Osaka-Kansai Expo’s "Co-Design Challenge" program.
The greatest attraction of visiting Asahikawa is the opportunity to experience open factories and exhibitions held at each company’s production sites and showrooms — rare chances to witness craftsmanship and the birth of furniture up close. Our communication event, "Meet up / Cocktail Hour," which embodies the concept of “Meeting at the Source,” will be significantly expanded this year, offering more opportunities for new encounters and deeper exchanges in the open and welcoming atmosphere unique to the region.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you. Let’s meet in Asahikawa, where the early summer air is fresh and inviting.
