Convention series
Kemono-Box is an Aichi, Japan furry and kemono community event. Its organizers describe the revived format as a hotel-stay fursuit event built around participant-created rooms and activities, letting attendees pursue different interests and make a personal “treasure box” of experiences. The earlier event series sought to connect people from western and eastern Japan, ran eight events at i-Plaza Ichinomiya between June 3, 2012 and February 16, 2019, then paused during the COVID-19 pandemic. The series returns at Loisir Hotel Toyohashi in 2027. Sources: https://www.kemono-box.jp/en/ ; https://www.kemono-box.jp/
