This autumn, Kariya comes alive—Anime style!

Kariya Anime Collection is a comprehensive anime/manga event held around Kariya Station. A cosplay event held at the Kariya City Industrial Promotion Center served as the launching pad for the Cosplay Festa in Kariya beginning in 2010, which then expanded to include anime and other such contents to become the all-inclusive anime/manga event that it is today.
Festivities include talk shows by voice actors and actresses as well as anime-related booths, and some 2,000 cosplayers make an appearance. Food and drink vendors too offer tasty treats as the cherry on top of a myriad of events!!
