JANUARY 10TH & 11TH 2026

Anime is Japanese animation—sometimes hand-drawn, sometimes digital—that’s taken the world by storm. Big-name hits in North America include Dragon Ball, Naruto, Sailor Moon, and My Hero Academia. At anime conventions, you’ll usually find a mix of anime, manga, K-pop, and gaming all under one roof.

Most programming at Ashika-on is designed to be in line with the MPAA’s “PG-13” rating when it comes to content, so keep that in mind when attending. Any programming not suitable for younger audiences will be clearly labeled 18+ on the schedule and will only take place after 8:00 PM at night. We recommended parents read the descriptions of all programming in the con guide or on the website (when posted) for details.

Children 13 and Under is free with paid Adult Admission.

Anyone under the age of eighteen (18) years old is considered a minor in the state of Oregon. Therefore, we need an adult to be with you when you pick up your badge/wristband in order to confirm you have an adult’s consent to be at the convention. Basically: we want to make sure someone knows you’re at Ashika-con so we don’t get panicked parents showing up looking for you.

Your ticket to Ashika-con grants you access to all main events and shopping areas at the convention. However, you are responsible for your own food and souvenirs/shopping. Other costs you may want to consider:

*Celebrity guests charge for autographs with prices posted at their booth.

*Some workshops may charge a fee for supplies.

*Ashika-con occasionally has gaming tournaments which may require an additional registration fee.

*Premium events are sometimes offered such as a specialized shows, after-parties or other presentations. These will charge a separate fee.

Prices for all of the aforementioned elements are typically posted in advance.

The fan based food options information will be posted at the end of July. Thank you for your patients.

No outside food items are allowed. Only personal water bottles are allowed and in case you are visiting with small children, baby food & milk are allowed. Please note there is a food court or counters inside the venue, where food & water are available at a charge.

The most often asked question! “How much does X charge for an autograph?” Many celebrities do not even set their price until they see what others are charging at the event. While we try to collect and post this information ahead of time, it is sometimes inaccurate. If you have a question about a specific celebrity, some of your fellow fans may know a recent price and different event or even just a range to expect, so don’t hesitate to ask in community groups or chats. Typically the range for an autograph can run between $20 and $100.
