About

What is JIHE 2026?

Japan's premier CBD and hemp international expo and conference. In 2026, we return to the landmark venue House of OMOTESANDO in Tokyo for a two-day event.

11/13 (FRI) — BUSINESS DAY

Business Day

A focused day for B2B meetings and networking. Domestic and international industry professionals, buyers, and investors converge — and it's the ideal time for on-site media coverage and executive interviews.

11/14 (SAT) — COMMUNITY DAY

Community Day

Open to the public, with retail sales permitted. A broad audience — from curious newcomers to seasoned experts and community members — gathers to experience the hemp ecosystem firsthand.

Organizer: Asabis Inc. Co-organizer: Green Zone Japan Partner: AIHF (Asia International Hemp Federation)
Background & Track Record

Year two under the new law —
an industry taking shape.

The revised Cannabis Control Act (effective December 2024) opened the door to a legitimate industrial framework in Japan. JIHE is the established platform where science, medicine, industry, and policy converge — and where that story gets told.
