OFFF 2026 ran August 1-2 at INTEX Osaka Hall 2 and drew 1,970 attendees across the two days, with 964 registered fursuits, the largest edition the convention has held. It was the third venue class in four active editions, after the Hotel Fukuracia ballroom and ATC Hall. The weekend's charity raffle sold ¥500 entries for artwork donated by creators, and the proceeds went to the Osaka Prefectural Animal Care and Management Center, which the organizers confirmed in a donation report published on September 2. A receipt image on that report records a ¥2,690,500 donation made jointly by the OFFF committee and Kigurumi Kagetsu Co., Ltd.; it does not separate the raffle proceeds. Programming included the Kemono Photo Exhibition, a random-dance session, a 14-act performance stage, and the Sunday stage tournament billed as Ketsu King.
OFFF 2024 moved to ATC Hall (Asia Pacific Trade Center) for its May 18-19 run, drawing 1,631 attendees and 772 fursuiters, a fursuit ratio of 47%. The shift from the Hotel Fukuracia hotel ballroom to an exhibition hall format marked a major expansion, more than tripling attendance from the previous edition.
Held July 15-16 at Hotel Fukuracia Osaka Bay, OFFF 2023 brought together 542 attendees and 331 fursuiters (61%), resuming the event after a multi-year pandemic hiatus.
The originally scheduled 2020 edition was cancelled due to COVID-19. No subsequent editions ran in 2021 or 2022 either; OFFF returned in summer 2023 at Hotel Fukuracia Osaka Bay, marking a three-year break before the post-pandemic relaunch.
The first OFFF ran September 22-23, 2019 at Hotel Fukuracia Osaka Bay with 612 attendees, launching the Kansai region's furry community calendar as an alternative to Tokyo-centric events.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Cooler Sponsor: ¥30,000 to put your name on the venue spot coolers
Most furcon sponsor tiers buy merch and recognition. OFFF runs a parallel ¥30,000 "Cooler Sponsor" tier whose distinguishing perk is literally sponsoring the venue's cooling equipment, your name is displayed on the spot coolers inside INTEX Osaka, a meaningful nod for an early-August event in Osaka's bay-side exhibition halls. The tier is independently stackable with the standard ¥14,000 Sponsor add-on (you can be both), and neither tier includes base admission, both are pure add-ons that sit on top of the regular ¥8,000 2-day pass. OFFF ties its top sponsor uplift to physical venue-comfort infrastructure on the show floor rather than to merch or seating.
From hotel ballroom to mega exhibition: three venue classes in four editions
OFFF has moved venue every active edition since founding. The 2019 inaugural and the 2023 post-pandemic restart both ran at Hotel Fukuracia Osaka Bay (612 → 542 attendees, hotel ballroom format). 2024 jumped to ATC Hall at the Asia Pacific Trade Center and nearly tripled attendance to 1,631 with 772 fursuiters (a 47% suiter ratio), forcing the move out of hotel ballrooms entirely. 2026 scales up a third time to INTEX Osaka - the Kansai region's mega exhibition centre in Suminoe-ku, which also hosts G20 summits and Comic City Osaka. INTEX sits in the Osaka Bay area and is reachable in 20 minutes from Umeda/Honmachi/Namba on the Osaka Metro Chuo Line via Cosmosquare, or about 50 minutes by limousine bus from Kansai International Airport.
Mandatory ¥1,000 Changing Room ticket gates fursuit participation
Every fursuiter at OFFF must purchase a ¥1,000 Changing Room ticket on top of their regular admission, and they must complete advance registration to do so. Walk-in fursuit participation is not permitted under any circumstance, a deliberate cap on day-of suiter density at the INTEX Osaka floor. The mechanic is structurally distinct from the Western default of free fursuit changing space bundled into the badge, and it dovetails with the ¥30,000 Cooler Sponsor tier (whose name lands on the venue cooling equipment for the August Osaka Bay heat). OFFF 2024 hit 772 fursuiters at a 47% suiter ratio with this gate in place, so the pre-registration requirement is enforced at scale, not just on paper.
