When is the 2018 Plarail Expo?

Good question! Plarail Expo is a pretty big deal and has the backing or blessing of one of the largest Japanese toy companies. Yet it doesn’t seem to get the attention that the big toy and hobby shows or the twice yearly Tokyo WonFes receive.

And is it just me or is the trip to Japan some kind of Otaku pilgrimage? I have numerous friends both online and IRL who’ve made the trip and it seems to be a bucket list item for so many different hobbies and fandoms.
