Wonderfes is Japan's biggest & likely longest running figure centered convention having run almost as long as Comiket and with a scale that matches to some extent.

During the pandemic the event went fully online, coming back to a large physical location back in Chiba now in 2024. It was great to see that the event had pretty much recovered from the pandemic although it does feel like a large part of that is likely also due to figures being something that just ends up being a lot cooler seeing irl than online. If you ever get a chance and are interested in figures this might be an interesting event to attend.
