Reptiles Fever 2026: The World of Small Dinosaurs
Recognized as a representative reptile event for the Kansai region, “Reptiles Fever 2026” is returning to the Osaka Nanko ATC Hall. This comprehensive gathering serves as a centralized hub for enthusiasts and curious visitors alike, featuring an array of rare reptiles and amphibians sourced from across the globe alongside the latest advancements in breeding supplies. The event is designed to be an accessible experience for the whole family, offering a wide variety of interaction corners where guests can engage with these animals.
To ensure the safety of the animals and the respect of the vendors, attendees are asked to adhere to specific guidelines: please refrain from taking photos or videos of the sales booths without prior permission, and always verify with the sales staff before filming or photographing. Additionally, animals and their containers must not be touched without the explicit permission of the sales staff.
■Hentai Shokubutsu Club FES Vol.0
Adding a unique botanical dimension to the exhibition, the venue will host “Hentai Shokubutsu Club FES Vol.0.” This marks the inaugural plant sales event for the “Hentai Shokubutsu Club” (Perverted Plant Club)—a unique program dedicated to exploring the “world of beauty and obsession” found in rare and strange plants. The term “perverted” in this context refers to an intense, obsessive love for the unconventional aesthetics of the botanical world.
Visitors can browse a collection of unique plants hand-picked by the two leading minds of the program, Mr. Keisuke Hase and Botanical Gorilla. For those seeking rare specimens, the event offers the opportunity to acquire “fateful pots” that are available exclusively at this venue.

Nanko ATC Hall (Asia and Pacific Trade Center Hall) sits on Osaka’s artificial southern waterfront in the Nanko district. The building houses approximately 5,000 square meters of exhibition space configured as column-free halls with ceiling heights sufficient for industrial equipment displays and vertical staging. Floor loading capacities support heavy machinery, while the integrated loading bay allows container trucks to discharge directly at the exhibition level.
Constructed in the early 1990s as part of Japan’s initiative to centralize Pacific Rim trade operations, the facility has shifted toward specialized technical conventions, particularly expositions involving live aquatic specimens or biological displays. The hall maintains independent climate zones and backup power systems capable of sustaining controlled environments for temperature-sensitive exhibits—specifications originally designed for perishable trade goods now adapted for living collections.
The venue connects directly to Port Town-higashi Station on the Nanko Port Town Line, twenty minutes from Namba by rail. Drivers reach the site via the Hanshin Expressway Bayshore Route, with truck access to the harbor freight terminals located adjacent to the exhibition halls. The surrounding ATC complex includes retail arcades and waterfront dining terraces, though these operate independently from the exhibition schedule.
