What is VketReal Regional?
These locally led VketReal events are held across Japan with approval from the VketReal official team. They draw on each region’s distinctive character to create exciting experiences.
Each VketReal Regional event is run by local volunteers who take the initiative. With approval from the VketReal official team, anyone can host an event, anywhere.
VketReal is a real-world event born from Virtual Market, one of the world’s largest virtual events. It offers experiences that connect the virtual and real worlds across dimensions. Official events take place in Tokyo in summer and winter, with collaborative projects that involve the entire city.
Known as Vket, Virtual Market is a virtual event featuring a wide range of exhibitors, from creators to companies and local governments. Visitors can buy and sell digital products such as 3D items and tools, as well as physical goods. Held in VRChat in summer and winter, it has recorded over 1.5 million visitors and holds four GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles.
