Installation & dismantling for Trade Shows in Japan
Quick answer
Move-in (hannyu) and move-out (hanshutsu) happen in fixed windows set by the organiser. Installation crews build or set up your booth inside the move-in window and remove it afterwards.
What to expect
- Scope
- Booth assembly, exhibit set-up, crate handling, dismantling and waste removal.
- Lead times
- Book before move-in dates are published in the exhibitor manual, and confirm who is allowed to work inside the hall.
- How pricing usually works
- Providers usually quote per project after seeing your show, booth size and requirements. Ask for a written quote that lists what is and is not included.
Checklist
- Find the move-in and move-out windows in the exhibitor manual
- Check who is permitted to work in the hall during set-up
- Plan crate storage and empty-crate handling
- Confirm how waste and leftover materials are removed
