NEO TOKYO Eyewear Show
Tokyo, Japan
NEO TOKYO Eyewear Show describes itself as a next-generation, trade-only eyewear show in Tokyo, connecting Japanese and international eyewear brands with retailers, wholesalers, and buyers. It's a newer, separate entrant to the market — not a rebrand of the long-running International Optical Fair Tokyo (iOFT), which held its own final edition in 2025 and closed (iOFT's organizer, RX Japan, folded its eyewear category into a different event, FaW Tokyo).
The 2026 edition runs October 6-8 at TODA HALL & CONFERENCE TOKYO. As a newer show, published detail on scale is thinner than the more established shows on this list — worth a direct check with organizers before planning international travel around it.
A New, Unaffiliated Entrant — Not iOFT's Successor
It's worth being precise here: iOFT's own organizer, RX Japan, folded its eyewear category into a different existing event, FaW Tokyo — that's the official continuation. NEO TOKYO Eyewear Show is a separate, newer event with no organizational tie to iOFT or RX Japan, positioning itself independently rather than claiming to be a rebrand.
Venue, Timing, and What's Still Unknown
The 2026 edition runs October 6-8 at TODA HALL & CONFERENCE TOKYO, marketed as trade-only rather than open to the general public. As a newer show, published detail on exhibitor count, expected attendance, and overall scale is thinner than what's available for established shows — that's typical for an event still building its public track record. Buyers and brands considering it should confirm current details directly with organizers before committing travel or exhibiting budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is NEO TOKYO Eyewear Show the same as the old Tokyo optical fair (iOFT)?
No. iOFT held its final edition in 2025 and closed — its own organizer (RX Japan) moved its eyewear category into a different event, FaW Tokyo. NEO TOKYO Eyewear Show is a separate, newer, unaffiliated event, not a continuation of iOFT under a new name.
Where and when is NEO TOKYO Eyewear Show held?
TODA HALL & CONFERENCE TOKYO, Japan. The 2026 edition runs October 6-8.
What is the official successor to iOFT — is it NEO TOKYO?
