IJK - International Jewellery Kobe

According to the organiser, the Kobe show runs from 20 to 22 May 2027 at the Kobe International Exhibition Hall, 6-11-1 Minatojima-nakamachi, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0046, Japan. TradeShowBuzz lists the same dates, but names the venue as International Convention Center Kobe (ICCK), so rely on the organiser's venue when you plan your trip.

The organiser lists 10:00 to 18:00 on 20 and 21 May 2027, and 10:00 to 17:00 on the last day, 22 May. The organiser recommends visiting over two or three days, because the show is large.

Admission is free, but the organiser requires every visitor to register in advance online, one registration per person. Once registered, your registration is valid for all three days. You can download your badge about three weeks before the show, print it in colour on A4 paper and bring it with photo ID such as a passport or residence card. Printers are also available at the venue.

IJK is a trade show for purchasing and business negotiations, so the organiser prohibits visits by general consumers for personal use. Business buyers, people planning to enter the jewellery business and handmade jewellery artists are welcome. Children under 18 need guardian consent and must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, with up to five children per adult.

The organiser says the Kobe International Exhibition Hall is right in front of Shimin Hiroba Station on the Port Liner. It is 8 minutes from Kobe Airport and 10 minutes from Sannomiya Station by Port Liner. Parking is available at the hall, and the organiser points to the venue's website for rates. Kobe Portopia Hotel is close to the venue, and there are restaurants nearby.
