In a statement, JAMA also shared that the Tokyo Future Tour had approximately half a million visitors while the Business Matching Events program yielded to more than 430 business negotiations.

Over 42,000 viewers were welcomed at the Japan Future Session and the Out of KidZania in Japan Mobility Show 2023 that featured job role-playing for children had 13,000 visitors.

In a statement, JAMA — headed by its chairman Akio Toyoda of Toyota — expressed its gratitude to the show’s visitors and exhibitors “who helped make the JMS for the year a success."
