Discover the Opportunities at SusHi Tech TOKYO 2026

Join us for an exciting journey into the future as Tokyo opens its doors for the global innovation event, SusHi Tech TOKYO 2026. Scheduled from April 27 to 29, 2026, this event promises to be an exceptional showcase of the latest technologies, including themes such as AI, Robotics, Resilience, and Entertainment. This year marks the fourth edition of the event, previously known as City-Tech Tokyo, and we are thrilled to announce the introduction of a remote participation option through toraru's innovative service, GENCHI.

The event will be held at the renowned Tokyo Big Sight, and it is anticipated to attract thousands of participants from around the globe. The previous edition saw over 57,698 attendees from 100 countries, which places this event on the global technology map. With the rise of international participation, the organizers are keen to provide a seamless and efficient experience for those who wish to join from afar.

What is GENCHI?

GENCHI is a groundbreaking virtual embodiment service created by toraru, headquartered in Kobe, Japan. This platform facilitates an extraordinary form of telepresence where users can appear virtually at different locations. Through GENCHI, you can engage in real-time interactions, enjoy immersive commerce experiences, and network as if you were physically present at the event. This eliminates geographic barriers and allows individuals who may be busy, on leave, or facing financial constraints to still be part of significant events like SusHi Tech TOKYO.

Using GENCHI, users can interact with local representatives who act as their avatars, engaging in various activities like shopping or networking without the need to be physically present. This technology allows your likeness to interact with the environment and people at the venue, thereby giving you a real-time experience.

A Unique Opportunity Awaiting You

Thanks to a partnership between toraru and the Tokyo metropolitan government, we're excited to offer limited free remote participation slots. Typically, these slots are valued at approximately 4,500 yen per hour, but for a limited time, you can sign up for this unique opportunity at no cost. With only a week to secure your spot, we encourage interested participants to sign up early at the Sushi Tech Remote portal.

The GENCHI experience promises to be as engaging as attending in-person. If unable to travel due to circumstances like maternity leave or tight budgets, this immersive service is designed for you. During the event, live demonstrations showcasing virtual teleportation experiences will allow attendees to teleport their presence to locations like Osaka or Sendai while still engaging at the Tokyo venue.

How GENCHI Works

GENCHI operates through a web platform that facilitates the connection between users and local professionals who act as their physical avatars. By utilizing smartphones and connected devices, your presence is replicated in a different location through real-time video, audio, and haptic feedback. This innovative approach allows for enriched interactions, be it for attending a conference session, conducting sales, or repairing equipment from a distance.

Participants can sit at home or their offices and still contribute to impactful discussions and business activities from Major tech exhibitions to intimate peer networking. Plus, the immediate accessibility eliminates traditional travel hurdles.
