It is still a difficult situation right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty that is still lingering. There are still events getting postponed or cancelled. Because of the growing amount of articles being published on AVO Magazine in regards to the postponements and cancellations of several Japan-related events, from conventions to tours, it is decided to make an overview of these events for 2021.
Some links are the articles that are published on AVO Magazine or websites of the events where the announcements are shared. Let’s hope this list will not be longer than the list that is made in 2020. Japan-related events in the list are listed in order of the month in which they would take place.
