Discover the Essence of Imabari Towels at the Towel Expo in Aoyama

Starting from June 5, 2026, the vibrant city of Tokyo will play host to an exciting pop-up event known as the 'Towel Expo in Aoyama' at the SUPER ZERO Lab. This event, organized by Imabari Akinaishosha Co., aims to introduce attendees to the renowned Imabari towels and the unique artistry behind them.

The pop-up event runs until June 21 and promises a wonderful experience filled with various attractions. After the success of last year's inaugural Towel Expo held in Shibuya, where the event received tremendous enthusiasm and requests for a second installment, this Aoyama edition showcases an expanded agenda designed to celebrate the excellence of Imabari towels.

At the expo, visitors will find:

• - A special exhibition featuring Imabari towel manufacturers, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the world of high-quality towels.
• - A unique lottery event with fabulous prizes, such as local rice and premium beef.
• - A chance to purchase Imabari towels at exclusive prices.
• - Exciting giveaways for students attending the event.

Why Imabari Towels?

Japan boasts a rich array of high-quality domestic towels; however, around 85% of towels in the current market come from overseas. The main goal of the Towel Expo is to bridge the gap between guests and Imabari towels, especially for those who may not have experienced the unique quality and craftsmanship these towels offer. The goal is simple: to make quality towels more accessible and to help potential users discover the perfect towel for their daily needs.

By participating in the Towel Expo, attendees will find themselves engaging in immersive experiences that promote understanding and appreciation of the craft behind Imabari towels. The event emphasizes the touch and feel of the products, helping visitors understand the significance of quality towels in their everyday lives.

Special Highlights at the Expo

One of the key features of the Towel Expo is the 'Imabari Towel Special Exhibition,' where nine towel manufacturers will showcase their finest creations. Each displays their unique craftsmanship and story, turning the event into a storytelling experience where visitors can learn directly from the makers about their love and passion for towel production. This interaction promises to enhance the appreciation for each towel's quality and the artisans' hard work behind it.

A diverse collective of approximately 70 towel manufacturers from the Imabari Towel Industrial Cooperative will present their creations throughout the event. This collaborative atmosphere will allow guests to experience the wide range of textures and styles available, finding a towel that perfectly suits their personal needs.
