Try your luck with manga ornaments
You’ll find a small stall in the manga/cosplay area where you can make your own cute ornaments from pages of old manga. Using special scissors and glue, you can create any design from the huge selection they have on offer.
There are even pre-made ones to choose from if you don’t want to get creative. Once you’re done, simply take your ornament home with you.
Pick up some Japanese snacks
If you’re a fan of green tea Kit Kats, melon pan or Pocky, then Frankenmexx is a great place to stock up. There are plenty of Japanese snacks that you can try – just don’t forget to bring a bottle of water.
Tasty food from Japan
If you’re visiting Frankenmexx with your family, do them a favor and get lunch from the Japanese pavilion next door. You’ll be able to try some traditional Japanese dishes, including okonomiyaki and takoyaki, and they’ll offer a special discount to anyone with a Frankenmexx ticket.
Fun for the whole family – even your pet
There are plenty of things that kids can do at Frankenmexx, from storytelling workshops to games and prizes. There are also several pet-friendly activities, so you can bring your dog to the convention with you if you’d like – just make sure they have a tag or bracelet, so nobody mistakes them for a plushie.
Free workshops
You’ll find plenty of fun and free workshops at Frankenmexx, including origami, Japanese calligraphy, haiku writing and even a hairdresser. You can also learn how to write in Japanese or make your own anime character.
Cosplay fun
Cosplayers are always welcome at Frankenmexx – it’s one of the few conventions where dressing up will actually get you more attention than if you were to come as yourself.
There are several different cosplay contests throughout the day, with great prizes up for grabs. Even if you aren’t planning on entering, watching everyone get into character is always fun.
Make sure to take lots of photos and feel free to say hello – cosplayers are some of the friendliest people around.

One of the main attractions at this convention is the cosplay contest, where participants dress up as their favorite characters from Japanese anime and manga. The costumes are always impressive, and the competition is fierce.
Some costumes are downright scary. Some people show their love of Japan by learning the language, some by watching anime and manga, while others prefer to dress up as their favorite characters.
And then there’s a big group of people who love doujinshi – fan-made comics that mainly feature original characters in scenarios from existing anime or manga.
