Japan Meeting of Furries (JMoF) is an absolute colossus on the international circuit! Standing firmly as the largest and most prestigious "kemono" (furry) convention in Japan, this incredible event is globally renowned for showcasing the unique, hyper-polished Japanese style of fursuiting that explicitly emphasizes extreme precision, cuteness, and staggering production value.
Operating from its historic, long-time home at the Loisir Hotel Toyohashi in Aichi Prefecture, the incredibly massive January 9-11, 2026 iteration is deploying a brilliant "Ocean's Furteen" theme!
This incredibly sophisticated pun—referencing the iconic heist cinema of Ocean's Eleven—points toward an unbelievably sleek, highly elegant weekend! Attendees can expect thrilling teamwork-oriented programming, immersive "casino" style game events, and a highly polished atmosphere perfectly suited to the massive Loisir Hotel spaces.
JMoF completely differentiates itself with its unique, highly communal schedule. Unlike Western conventions known for fragmented room parties, JMoF focuses on massive, shared experiences—most notably their legendary Wolf Moon Party, a spectacular pre-convention standing reception that unites the entire fandom. Combine this with their fierce Fursuit Creators' Competition, and the event operates as both a massive social gathering and a premier, top-tier trade show for elite costume design.
