Kemocon is a spectacular, completely breathtaking destination event that operates as a globally recognized bastion for the specialized Kemono subculture! Organized by the dedicated non-profit KEMOCONPROJECT since 2008, this incredible convention offers a uniquely immersive experience set against one of the most famous backdrops on Earth.
Abandoning the standard city convention format, Kemocon takes over the unbelievably scenic Toki no Sumika Gotemba Kogen Resort, nestled directly at the foot of Mount Fuji in Gotemba, Japan.
Returning to this absolutely stunning location on November 6-8, 2026, the convention offers attendees an experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Instead of focusing solely on crowded dealer's dens, Kemocon heavily prioritizes the incredible resort atmosphere, allowing the massive community of stylistically distinct kigurumi and kemono suiters to interact against a breathtaking natural landscape.
"Kemono" is the Japanese term specifically applied to their heavily stylized, incredibly cute, and highly proportioned variant of furry art and costume design. Kemocon operates as the ultimate annual celebration of this hyper-specialized aesthetic, successfully bridging multiple East Asian fandoms to create a flawless, deeply cultural resort weekend.
