KAIDAN – Ghost Story III | Yokai, Dark Art & Japan Convention rund um Halloween in Mainz

In the organizer's words:

KAIDAN - Ghost Story III brings together art, music and convention all about the dark side of Japanese culture. Yokai, cosplay, dark art and international guests from Japan - many live in Germany for the first time.

On November 7 and 8, 2026, Halle 45 in Mainz will be transformed into an immersive world of yokai, ghosts and mythical creatures, dark art and alternative aesthetics.

International guests from Japan will meet a lively scene of cosplay, J-Fashion and independent artists. The majority of visitors become part of the production themselves and shape the atmosphere with elaborate outfits and creative looks.

In addition to exhibitions and artist stands, you can expect a varied program of design, illustration, music and live acts. Among others, a Japanese folk metal band will be performing outside Japan for the first time.
