Giappone in Fiera 2027 in Ferrara: where to stay

Giappone in Fiera turns Ferrara into a hub for Japanese culture fans. Over two days, the Fiera di Ferrara hosts exhibitors, workshops and live demonstrations covering everything from tea ceremony, calligraphy and kimono to bonsai, martial arts and zen meditation. It works just as well for the curious newcomer as for the seasoned collector. Food is a big part of the programme: stalls serving sushi, ramen, takoyaki and mochi, plus showcookings and tastings with specialist chefs. At the same time, the pop culture zone brings together a manga area, cosplay contest, retro gaming and VR, while the Japanese market offers kawaii items, action figures, handicrafts, books and gadgets. Music and live shows add taiko drumming, shamisen, dance, j-pop and karaoke, alongside a family space with games, manga workshops, mascots and educational trails. The venue is fully accessible, with plenty of parking and several food points inside. If you are travelling from out of town, staying near Fiera di Ferrara lets you make the most of both days without long commutes. And while you are there, the UNESCO-listed historic centre is well worth a walk.
