The event at a glance
HCJ combines Japan's hotel and restaurant, food-catering and commercial-kitchen exhibitions. Hotel operators, restaurant groups and institutional caterers can compare equipment and service systems against real operating constraints. Bring kitchen layouts, meal volumes, staffing patterns and utility limits to supplier discussions. Assess cleaning, maintenance and training alongside purchase price. The three shows form one visit at Tokyo Big Sight; do not count them as separate trips or assume a past seminar timetable applies to 2027.
