Stfes Location

Overview of the event - tickets, cosplay, etc.

A massive cosplay event held in Nipponbashi Denden Town and Otaku Road in Osaka! Over 230,000 people from all over Japan attended in 2019! From casual participation to a full cosplay parade, this event has a wide range of fun activities!!

This year, it's held in May—slightly warm, which makes it perfect for cosplaying!!

To participate in cosplay, you need to purchase a wristband! There are two types: one allows access to the general changing rooms (Cosplay Participation Wristband), and the other includes priority access to reserved changing rooms (Pre-reserved Changing Room Wristband).
If you have either of these wristbands, you DO NOT need to purchase a Camera Participation Strap! (Camera-only participants still need to buy the strap.)
