Expected a Celebration of Japan, Got a Shopping Event
I was quite disappointed with Hyper Japan. While the stage performances were enjoyable and probably the highlight of the event, I didn’t feel it offered good value for the ticket price.
I was also expecting much more about Japanese culture, traditions and travel, as I’m hoping to visit Japan next year. Instead, the event was dominated by stalls selling expensive merchandise, anime collectibles and novelty items, much of which felt repetitive. If you’re not planning to shop, there isn’t a huge amount to do.
The food options looked good, but the queues were extremely long throughout the day, making it difficult to enjoy without spending a lot of time waiting.
Overall, unless you’re a dedicated anime fan or intend to spend a lot on merchandise, I don’t think it’s worth the admission price. The stage shows were entertaining, but they weren’t enough to make up for the lack of cultural experiences and the expensive shopping. Unfortunately, I won’t be rushing back.
