2023 marks the first time that the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association will host a new annual event called the Japan Mobility Show. The name is new, but it’s a natural evolution of what was previously known as the Tokyo Motor Show. Its predecessor multi-industry show was last held in 2019, prior to the global pandemic.
Interestingly, before the name change, JAMA had brought multiple mobility industries together under one roof. Because the 2019 show featured more than just cars, motorcycles, or other forms of transportation on their own, it pulled in an impressive 1.3 million visitors. The Tokyo Motor Show on its own hadn’t surpassed the 1M mark before—so it was clear that the time to expand its horizons was now.
