The JARL Ham Fair 2026 will take place on August 29–30, 2026, at Ariake GYM-EX in Tokyo, Japan. Organized by the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL), Ham Fair is the largest amateur radio exhibition in Japan and one of the most significant amateur radio events in Asia.
This year's edition is particularly special as it marks the 100th anniversary of JARL under the theme: “JARL 100th Anniversary: Build up the antenna of curiosity”.
The event aims to promote the healthy development of amateur radio, encourage technical innovation, facilitate information exchange, and strengthen friendships among radio amateurs from Japan and around the world.
Visitors can expect a wide range of exhibits from amateur radio organizations, clubs, manufacturers, and industry partners, as well as demonstrations, technical displays, and opportunities to discover the latest developments in amateur radio technology.
The success of Ham Fair 2025 once again demonstrated the popularity of the event, attracting approximately 42,000 visitors over two days, including around 30,000 attendees on Saturday and 12,000 on Sunday.
