The Spring Japan Market 2025 transformed UBC Robson Square on March 1-2, 2025 into a bustling hub of activity! Under clear, sunny skies, the event welcomed an impressive 4,000 attendees, making it one of the most exciting and well-attended indoor Japan Markets!

With 56 vendors, visitors enjoyed an incredible selection of authentic Japanese street food, desserts, and handcrafted goods. It makes us so happy to share these locally inspired Canadian-made products to our community of Japan enthusiasts!

Beyond the food (and everyone loves the food), the market showcased a diverse range of Japanese and Japan-inspired businesses, featuring elegant ceramics, traditional textiles, modern pop culture merchandise, and unique artisanal products. Whether shopping for collectibles or discovering handcrafted treasures, guests found something special to take home.
