Why You Should Visit
The Osaka edition of Japan's large-scale pet expo, centred on dogs and cats. Halls 1 and 2 of INTEX Osaka fill with food and apparel stalls, but most of the floor goes to things you actually do: a sports day your own dog can enter, a 30m dash, a petting farm with small animals and reptiles, and perching sessions with birds. A TICA-sanctioned cat show and a cat grooming contest run on different days. Pets with up-to-date vaccinations can come along, and visitors without one can simply walk the floor.
