The Tokyo Motor Show Focuses on the Future

Looking to the future, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association presents the 46th edition of the Tokyo Motor Show. The forty-sixth edition of the Tokyo Motor Show takes place Thursday, October 24, 2019 to Monday November 4, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan. The exhibition has become a regular date in the calendar and offers one of the best informative sites on the subject of automobile production.


The theme of this year’s event is the “OPEN FUTURE” concept that vividly reflects the open-ended scope of possibilities that the exciting new mobility of the future will embody. This year’s show will demonstrate that the potential of the future is always expanding.

The Role of Automobiles
The Show will present the latest developments in the automotive industry. The main topic of the show revolves around the role of automobiles in the future. Engineers combine aesthetics, technology and dreams to develop their latest creations.

Tokyo Motor Show 2019 will be setting its sights, and those of its visitors, on the future, enabling them to see for themselves what mobility may look like in the coming years and, more expansively, in the broader context of the living experience of the future and the vast array of applied technologies which that experience could feature.

Open to All
The “openness” conveyed by this theme is meant to be both a challenge and a stimulus to the show’s organizer and its exhibitors. The Show will feature a wide range of programmes, events, and activities that can be enjoyed by all—not just by automobile enthusiasts, but by visitors of all ages.

There will be participation by at least 186 companies and organizations from seven countries. The show will offer thrilling vehicle displays and entertaining events.

Expanded Venue
In addition to Odaiba’s Ariake area, where the Tokyo Motor Show has until now been held at Tokyo Big Sight, the venue for this year’s show has been expanded to include the Aomi area. The venue will also include the new “Open Road” connecting the Ariake and Aomi areas, to create one vast “mobility theme park”.
