FAQs

What exactly is a “Smart Ticket” for this event?

A Smart Ticket, or SmaTicket, is a digital admission pass issued to your smartphone. You must present the live ticket screen at the entrance for scanning; screenshots are typically not accepted for entry.

Can I re-enter the venue if I leave during my assigned block?

No, re-entry is not permitted at the Stationery Girls’ Expo. Once you exit the event hall after your shopping session, your ticket becomes invalid for further entry during that block.

Are there any age restrictions or child discounts?

Up to two children of elementary school age or younger can enter for free when accompanied by a ticket-holding adult guardian, making it a great family-friendly outing.

What happens during the “Premium Time” slots in Tokyo?

Premium Time slots have a much lower capacity than general blocks, offering a more exclusive shopping experience with shorter queues and a better chance at high-demand limited items.

Where can I check the specific brands attending the 2026 expo?

The list of participating manufacturers and artists is updated regularly. Most major Japanese stationery brands and many independent craftspeople will have dedicated booths throughout the event dates.
