Based on the concept of “Be kind to nature, enjoy nature. Enjoy a more diverse lifestyle through the outdoors,” this outdoor expo brings together fashion, gear, mobility, tourism, food, housing, and ecology-related products.
In 2026, under the theme of “Diverse and Cutting-Edge Outdoors,” we will showcase cutting-edge outdoor culture and a wide range of activities. Outdoor activities, which have become deeply integrated into daily life, encompass a very broad range, including camping, hiking, mountaineering, trekking, fishing, climbing, cycling, and running. Building on the success of our focus in 2025 on “mobile activities” such as hiking, mountaineering, and trail running, in 2026 we will add “running” to propose a new outdoor lifestyle that will appeal to an even wider audience.
The second wave of performers for the special stage has been announced!
A special talk show featuring special guests will be held on a special stage at the Tokyo Outdoor Show. As the second announcement, a collaborative project with the mountain climbing program “Soko ni Yama ga Aru Kara” (Because the Mountain Is There), which airs every Wednesday at 10:30 PM on BS Asahi, has been decided. Minamino Yoko and Kaneko Takatoshi, who appear on the program, will be taking the stage.
Minamino Yoko
Born in Hyogo Prefecture, she made her debut as a singer on her 18th birthday with “Hazukashisugite” (Too Embarrassed). In 1985, she played the lead role of Saki Asamiya in “Sukeban Deka II: Shojo Tetsukamen Densetsu” (Delinquent Detective II: The Legend of the Girl with the Iron Mask), becoming a top idol overnight. As a singer, she has achieved nine number one hits on the Oricon charts. As an actress, she has appeared in dramas such as “Saigo-don,” “Hanzawa Naoki,” and “Nemesis,” and films such as “Haikara-san ga Tooru,” “Watashi wo Daite Soshite Kiss Shite,” and “Inochi no Teishajo” (The Station of Life).
She has also appeared on various stages, both large and small, including “Sasameyuki” (The Makioka Sisters), “Wana” (The Trap), and “Nakunaru Katachi to Nakuranai Kimochi” (The Shape That Disappears and the Feelings That Never Disappear). Recently, she has resumed her singing career, writing and singing “Ashita e no Niji” (Rainbow to Tomorrow), which expresses her wish for friendship between Japan and Cambodia, and “Hiyou ~Saikai no Niau Machi Maizuru” (Soaring ~ Maizuru, a Town That Suits Reunion), the city anthem of Maizuru City, Kyoto. In June 2025, she will celebrate her 40th anniversary, and will be holding a concert tour in five cities nationwide starting in July, and her first dinner show starting in December, demonstrating her wide range of activities.
