Japan in Berlin — A Biannual Festival
The Japanmarkt Berlin has been established since 2014. The organizer is the Berlin-based company Japan Events, which organizes a full-day Japanese cultural event twice a year (winter and summer). The market serves as a platform for Berlin's Japanese diaspora and for the growing German Japan fan scene, which has formed around anime, manga, kawaii, matcha, and wabi-sabi.
Festsaal Kreuzberg — The Venue
The venue for 2026 is Festsaal Kreuzberg at Am Flutgraben 2 — a 1,500 m² event hall in a 19th-century brick building, located directly on the Landwehr Canal between Kreuzberg and Treptow. The hall, normally used as a concert and club venue (with a stage, bar, and VIP areas), will be completely transformed into a market for the Japanmarkt: a central stage, exhibitor stands around the hall, and a food court in the foyer.
