Wonder Festival 2025

Wonder Festival, Japan's largest figure event! There are many figures you can only buy here, from scale figures that companies will release in the future to garage kits (aka "gareki") and painted finished figures made by dealers (like circles at Comiket)!

At figure-related events like this, there's something called same-day copyrights. Because of this, the sale of figures and gareki is limited, meaning there are many items you can only buy here! Basically, if you miss out on buying something here, you can't get it again, so if you want it, buy it!

Basic Information
Date (Summer): July 27th(sun), 2025
Date (Winter): TBA
Event size: Large-scale (approximately 40,000 participants each time)

Around this period, the Comiket (Comic Market) is also held! Let's participate in both and have a fantastic summer in 2025!

Ticket Information


Wonder Festival is a festival for figures... Just like Comiket (Comic Market) and Comitia, a ticket is required for entry to Wonder Festival!! Therefore, here we will explain each type of ticket, Priority Entry Ticket, 1 Day Ticket, 1 Day Ticket (U22 Discount), 1 Day Ticket (Afternoon Discount), and Same-Day Ticket!!

Priority Entry Ticket(Finished)


Priority Entry Ticket is the ticket that allows the earliest entry. Although the official entry start time is the same as other tickets, this one lets you get into the venue first. At Wonder Festival, dealers (the people who sell garage kits, figures, etc.) have a limited number of figures available, and in some cases, there might only be 5 sets available on the day. If a dealer you like is selling only a small number of their works, we strongly recommend entering with this ticket.

The map and list above show all the hotels near Makuhari Messe. When there's a big event, hotel prices usually go up. So, especially the hotels mentioned are a bit expensive because they're in a good location.
