"OtaCos" is a shortened form of "Oinai Taki Cosplay Festival," which is held in Taki Town, Mie Prefecture, a serene countryside surrounded by mountains. It is Japan's largest location cosplay event.
"Oinai" is a dialect word from Mie Prefecture, which means "come here" or "welcome".
In the midst of Japan's scenic natural landscapes, please enjoy cosplay to your heart's content!
This edition of 2023 marks a return to our roots after a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic!
We aim to enhance the event to a level where people from around the world can enjoy the cosplay culture and see Taki Town as a must-visit destination. We want to reach out to a larger audience and make it an event where everyone can revel in the beauty of this town and experience the joy of cosplay!
