Underscoring its status as Western Japan's largest jewellery event, IJK 2026 will welcome an impressive 14,000 visitors and bring together 480 exhibitors from across Japan and overseas. The show floor will be packed with an extraordinary 890,000 pieces of jewellery—available both for display and immediate sale. Significant participation from China and other leading Asian markets will make IJK a powerful gateway for buyers and sellers aiming to access the region's most dynamic markets. This unique scale and diversity set the event apart as a must-attend for anyone seriously engaged in the global jewellery business.

The event's location in Kobe adds yet another layer of excitement and value for participants. As an international port city with a distinguished history in global trade, and a renowned hub for the pearl industry, Kobe offers a world-class backdrop and exceptional connectivity for exhibitors and visitors alike. The city's vibrant culture, hospitality, and infrastructure ensure every attendee can maximize their experience at IJK.
