The Japan Mobility Show 2025 is set to become one of the world’s most anticipated automotive and mobility exhibitions. Scheduled to be held from October 30 to November 9, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight, this event promises to showcase the next generation of mobility — from electric vehicles and autonomous technologies to futuristic mobility solutions that connect land, sea, and air.
Organised by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA), the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) represents the evolution of the historic Tokyo Motor Show. Unlike traditional auto expos that focused mainly on cars, JMS has widened its scope to include the entire mobility ecosystem covering personal mobility, commercial transport, logistics, robotics, aviation, and smart city innovations.
The Broader Vision of Mobility
The theme of JMS 2025 revolves around “Expanding Possibilities of Mobility.” It highlights how technology, design, and human creativity are redefining how people and goods move. The exhibition is expected to feature more than 400 exhibitors, including major automotive manufacturers, tech companies, and startups from across the globe.
The focus will not only be on vehicles but also on how mobility connects with everyday life. This includes advancements in autonomous driving, electric mobility, hydrogen-powered vehicles, smart transportation systems, and mobility-as-a-service (MaaS).
Key Dates and Participation
- Press Days: October 29–30, 2025
- Public Days: October 31 to November 9, 2025
- Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, Koto City, Tokyo
The event will include various pavilions such as the Mobility Future Zone, Startup Future Factory, and Global Collaboration Zone designed to bring together innovators, manufacturers, and engineers under one roof.
Spotlight on Innovation and Startups
One of the most exciting elements of the Japan Mobility Show 2025 is the Startup Future Factory. Around 150 startups will participate, showcasing innovations in artificial intelligence, electric powertrains, connected mobility, and urban transportation. This platform encourages collaboration between large automotive manufacturers and emerging technology companies to build sustainable mobility solutions for the future.
The event will also highlight Japan’s growing leadership in clean and efficient mobility systems. With global pressure to reduce carbon emissions, JMS 2025 will put a spotlight on carbon-neutral technologies, EV battery recycling, and green energy infrastructure.
Major Automakers and Their Vision
Japanese automakers such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda are expected to make significant announcements during the show. Honda plans to display its futuristic “0 Series” EV lineup, which focuses on minimal design and advanced electric performance. Toyota is likely to showcase hydrogen-powered concept vehicles and autonomous prototypes aimed at the global market.
In addition to domestic players, global manufacturers from Europe and the United States are also expected to participate, presenting a range of concept EVs, hybrid systems, and smart mobility devices. The inclusion of aerial mobility and marine transportation concepts underlines how JMS 2025 views mobility as an interconnected, multi-domain ecosystem.
Why Japan Mobility Show 2025 Matters
For the global mobility industry, JMS 2025 serves as a roadmap for the future of transportation. The event will display how industries are converging from automotive to information technology, energy, and communication systems.
