Takano Showcases Innovative Awning at HCJ2026

The highly anticipated International Hotel and Restaurant Show (HCJ2026) is set to take place from February 17th to 20th, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. In this exciting event, Takano Co., Ltd. will reveal a groundbreaking 5m x 5m concept model of its flagship self-supporting awning, the "Lippalo." This innovative design is expected to hit the market in 2026, making its debut at this prominent trade show.

A New Paradigm in Outdoor Spaces

The new Lippalo model will showcase a spacious 25-square-meter canopy space, significantly larger than its predecessors. This design allows for more versatile terrace seating and event space without compromising structural integrity or aesthetics. By minimizing the number of poles, the outdoor area remains open and inviting, perfect for hotels, wedding venues, and commercial facilities.

Takano will also present several other eye-catching products designed to enhance outdoor dining and leisure spaces, including:

• - Mobile Stella Umbrella: This large, wind-resistant umbrella is now available in a mobile version. Equipped with wheels, it allows for easy relocation according to seasonal changes, events, or weather conditions, ensuring that outdoor settings remain comfortable and stylish.

• - Cantilever Awning: This design maximizes space by allowing the awning to stand without the need for ground-mounted poles. This feature significantly enhances foot traffic while providing shade in confined areas, making it an excellent choice for narrow pathways or limited spaces.

• - MeetBooth Table: Last year's hit product continues to gain traction across various offices and commercial spaces. The MeetBooth features a shade that provides relief from sunlight, allowing occupants to comfortably work on laptops or hold meetings outdoors. With adjustable height and mobility options, this versatile table adapts to any scenario, from standing meetings to casual gatherings.

Exclusive Visitor Gifts

During the exhibition, visitors can participate in a special giveaway, receiving custom coasters made from high-quality canvas by Italian manufacturer PARA, perfect for enhancing any outdoor setting.

Exhibition Details

The International Hotel and Restaurant Show (HCJ2026) will run from February 17th to 20th with operating hours from 10 AM to 5 PM, and 10 AM to 4:30 PM on the final day. Takano will have its booth located at West Hall 4 (W4-H09). Participants are encouraged to register in advance via the official visitor registration site to ensure smooth entry.
