The AnimeJapan 2023 event is being held from March 25-28. The in-person public days were held on March 25-26 at Tokyo Big Sight in the center's East Tower Halls 1-8. The business days will again be held online only on March 27-28.

The AnimeJapan 2022 event took place from March 26 through March 29 last year, as a hybrid in-person and online event. The business days were online only. AnimeJapan 2021 also took place in March 2021 as an online event. The event was originally planned as a hybrid in-person and online event, but the staff later canceled the in-person portion due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and a then-ongoing state of emergency. AnimeJapan 2020 was canceled completely in March 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns. AnimeJapan 2019 was the last time the event was in-person as opposed to virtual.
