Kemono Square 2026 is scheduled for Jun 20-20, 2026 in Shizuoka, Japan.
Kemono Square is a smaller Japanese furry event based in Shizuoka, Japan. It is not trying to be JMoF-sized. The draw here is a lighter, regional single-day format that still has enough recurrence to show up in serious convention tracking.
Current community-calendar research points to June 20, 2026 for the next Kemono Square date, with the event remaining tied to Shizuoka even though the final venue has not been published on the official site yet. That makes it a useful page to have now: the event is recurring, the branding is stable, and the geography is distinct from Japan's larger hotel and resort conventions.
Recent attendance tracking logged 245 attendees for 2024, which is enough to place Kemono Square on the lower end of the global ranked event list while still being clearly larger than a casual furmeet. For travelers, the value is not scale. It is that Kemono Square gives you another real entry point into Japan's regional event map outside the best-known mega-events.
The most practical route is via the Tokaido Shinkansen to Shizuoka Station, which takes about 1 hour from Tokyo or 2 hours from Shin-Osaka. From Shizuoka Station, take the JR Tokaido Main Line one stop east to Higashi-Shizuoka Station, and Granship is a 3-minute walk from there. Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) also serves the area, with buses connecting to Shizuoka Station in about 55 minutes.
Since this is a single-day event, many attendees make a day trip from Tokyo via Shinkansen. If you want to stay overnight, Shizuoka Station has several business hotels within walking distance, including chains like Toyoko Inn and Hotel Associa Shizuoka. The area around the station offers good dining options and is only one train stop from the venue.
Kemono Square 10 took place at Granship Shizuoka Convention & Arts Center on May 31, 2025, drawing 358 attendees. Guest of Honor was Roki from Yamainu Cafe. The one-day event continued its focus on kemono culture and local creator interactions.
