Japan Week is back. The sixth edition runs May 1 to 10, 2026 across more than 30 Montreal restaurants, shops, and cultural spaces. It's a city-wide trail, which means you build your own itinerary: a bowl of ramen here, a matcha somewhere else, a detour into a manga café you've been meaning to try.
Organized by ASIASIE—the non-profit behind YATAI MTL, Ramen Ramen Fes, POCHA MTL and other events dedicated to Asian culture in Quebec—Japan Week has become a reliable fixture among the best things to do in Montreal in May. It's free to explore, rooted in real businesses doing real things, and a little different every year.
Here's what's on for 2026.
