Kemocon (KC) 2026

Kemocon (KC) is a furry convention running from 6 to 9 November 2026 in Gotemba, Japan. It takes place at the Toki no Sumika resort, which sits right at the foot of Mount Fuji. This is the oldest Japanese furry con, organised by the volunteer non-profit KemoconProject since 2008. The focus is squarely on kemono culture, stylised art, and fursuiting within a relaxed, resort-style setting rather than a busy urban hall.

The venue includes on-site hotels, hot springs, and dining, so you can stay in the same place you are attending. The 2026 edition carries the theme GAME ON!. You will find a mix of programming, community spaces, and a strong emphasis on casual enjoyment. Staff and attendees are treated as equals, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. It is a great spot to connect with the East Asian furry community and enjoy the scenic backdrop.

Paper passes are posted in mid-October, well ahead of the event dates. The convention raises funds for charity and features unique commissioned music, including a main theme and various arrangements. It is a solid choice if you want a focused, community-driven experience with a bit of nature mixed in. Keep an eye on the official site for specific pass details and any updates as the date approaches. It is a well-run event with a clear mission to provide a casual space for kemono fans.
