The Tokyo Motor Show 2019 begins 24 October and runs through 4 November, covering multiple venues in the Odaiba area of Tokyo Waterfront City (Ariake, Koto-ku). Organised by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, this year’s show will be open to the general public for longer than in previous years and has been expanded to include more venues and better events for attendees. 

According to organisers, activities will include test drives of latest-model cars and bikes, stage events, and demonstration runs; racing and custom-built car displays, with the collaboration of Tokyo Auto Salon and MotorSports Japan; and the official Japan premiere of the FAI Drone Race, with world-class players competing at high speed in nighttime skies.

This year’s theme is “Open Future” and intends to, in part, explore at what mobility may look like in the future. At the Future Expo, visitors will experience a “typical day in the near future”, with participation from 61 companies and organizations.
