Japan's main furry convention, held at the Loisir Hotel a short bus ride away from Toyohashi Station. Almost 2,000 people attend each year, with a great number of costumed mascots and fursuiters. The event is held in early to mid January each year from Friday to Sunday (although some years has seen the event start on Thursday evening); admission is charged although access to public, non-event areas of the venue (such as the hotel lobby and outdoor courtyard) as well as the shuttle to and from Toyohashi station is free.
