68 Brands Gather: Japan's Largest 'Gear Festa 2026' Hosted by a Tool Shop to be Held in Tennozu – An Experiential Event Where You Can Touch, Try, and Buy with Conviction

Japan's largest tool experience event, "Gear Festa TOKYO PALOOZA 2026," will be held on Sunday, May 31st, at Tennozu Isle. This event, where 68 brands gather and you can choose tools by actually touching and trying them, is an experiential tool event that can be enjoyed by everyone from professionals to beginners. In addition to booths where you can talk directly with manufacturers, the venue will also offer unprecedented experiences such as participatory content that takes you around the venue. ■ Meet 68 Brands Directly A record 68 brands will gather in one place. You can directly ask about usability that cannot be conveyed through catalogs and selection methods known only to professionals, and then make a purchase on the spot. We will also offer special discount corners and pre-orders for large items available only on the day, realizing a purchasing experience where you can "see, touch, understand, and buy." ■ An "Quest" Experience at a Tool Event (GEAR QUEST 26) The participatory content "GEAR QUEST 26," where visitors challenge tool experiences, missions, and quizzes while touring the venue, will make its debut. Visitors participate as "players," progressing through quests while actually touching tools. By collecting stamps and reaching the goal, you can participate in special offers and lotteries. This is a circulating project that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to professionals, offering a new experience of "learning about tools while playing" as if the entire venue were a game. ■ Limited Special Price Corner (Day-only, First-come, First-served) A limited-quantity special sale corner available only on the day of the event. This special project offers "prices only available here," including featured products such as cabinets and tool sets. ■ Festa Select (Choose Your Special Offer) An event-limited project where you can choose 3 favorite items from a selection of products displayed in red, blue, and yellow wagons and purchase them for 15,000 yen. This corner allows you to enjoy both the "fun of choosing" and the "sense of value" simultaneously. ■ Festa Gacha Project A gacha project implemented at each manufacturer's booth and Factory Gear booth within the venue. As highly engaging content where you can win tools and related items, it will create visitor circulation and excitement at the venue. *Some content may be paid. ■ Purchase Benefits and Limited Novelty Project Introduced a system where benefits change according to the purchase amount. By offering novelties for purchases above a certain amount, and further lotteries and limited benefits for higher tiers, this project aims to make the visitor's purchasing experience more enjoyable. ■ "Why would a tool shop hold a festival? Some people might wonder. But the reason is simple. We want to increase the number of people who love tools. We will continue to challenge ourselves to make people who love tools happy." This event aims to maximize the value of "see, touch, experience, and buy" real-world events, and to provide a place for new experiences and encounters through tools. ■ Factory Gear Co., Ltd. A select shop that carefully selects, imports, and sells high-quality tools from around the world and domestically. Operates and manages 13 "Factory Gear" stores in Japan and 4 overseas.
