New Farmer Fair 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight on Nov 15

The "New Farmer Fair" will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight (3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo). This is one of Japan's largest job fairs focused on agriculture, bringing together municipalities, agricultural corporations, and support organizations from across the country. It aims to provide information on various aspects of farming, career paths, and rural relocation for anyone interested in agriculture.

Four Categories to Support Your Step into Agriculture

The fair is structured into four distinct categories to help visitors gather information tailored to their interests. The "Agricultural Corporation Employment Booths" feature agricultural production companies and individual farmers seeking employees. Here, you can directly ask managers and HR representatives about job details, work environments, and specific hiring conditions. Some booths offer insights into experiences of starting farms or relocating, and information on internships.

The "Agricultural Trainee Booths" provide details on training programs run by agricultural corporations and public institutions, serving as a step towards future independence in farming. You can learn about the training content, daily schedules, and the learning environment, and receive practical advice from former trainees. Participation in these is as a trainee, not as an employee.

"Regional Agriculture Consultation Booths" are staffed by representatives from prefectural and local governments, offering consultations on starting agricultural work in their respective areas. Experts will provide information on regional agricultural characteristics, living environments, support systems, subsidies, and relocation. This is ideal for those who have a specific region in mind for their agricultural pursuits.

The "Agricultural School Booths" are for agricultural colleges and training institutions. They offer guidance on pursuing specialized knowledge through education, catering to high school students as well as adults seeking vocational training. Information on curricula, admission processes, and open campus events will be available.
