Thank you to everyone who participated in our reboot show this year! JAFAX will return in summer of 2017. Stay tuned here and at our Facebook page for the most up-to-date news.
We have run out of program booklets, so we are making the program available online. You can download a PDF of the program here.
Pre-Registration for the event is available here.
We have re-opened pre-registration to speed up registration. As of now you can use our pre-registration system to register at at-event rates. There will be two lines; pre-registration and at-event registration. If you pre-register for a VIP badge, you may come to the front of the pre-reg line.

Cafe menu! The Maid Cafe will be open on Saturday and
