Gin Festival Tokyo

One of Asia’s largest gin festivals makes a triumphant return after five years.

What to expect

Held for the first time in five years, the 2024 event is sure to be a celebration. 80 companies from Japan and abroad will display more than 100 brands and 250 varieties of gin. When you do the math, this makes it one of the largest gin festivals in Asia.

In addition to the requisite tastings (gin and tonics, anyone?), you can purchase bottles directly from the distributors and exhibitors will hold seminars to educate while you partake in the offerings. There will also be a craft bar presented by the Japan Gin Association, serving up historical gin cocktails.

Schedule 2024

The festival will run for two days: Saturday, October 19, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 20, 11 a.m to 6 p.m.
