  • A total of 3 different stages (Red, Blue, Green) for panels and entertainment.
  • Cosplayers’ World, an area where cosplayers can “enjoy the world to the fullest.”
  • A Main Area filled with tons of exhibitions and activities.
  • A section dedicated to anime good where dozens of vendors will sell merchandise.
