Looking for an Event Space in Manila? Take Your First Step into the Philippine Market
July 26, 2026
Test the Philippine market on the ground in Manila.
MATSURI offers an event space adjoining the Brooklyn Warehouse café, which shares the same location within the Laperal YOU.suites complex in Manila. Companies, local governments, and organizations can use the space for promotions and test marketing.
Drawing on the local network we have built through MATSURI in MANILA and our ongoing event and community activities in the Philippines, we can discuss your project from the planning stage.
About the Location

What You Can Do
Promotion｜Product and Brand Promotion
Use the space for product displays, sampling, and brand campaigns. It creates an opportunity to observe direct responses from local consumers that can be difficult to capture through online advertising alone.
Pop-up & Events
From one-day events to pop-ups running for a set period, we can discuss concepts tailored to Japanese products, regional specialties, tourism, anime and culture, food and beverage, and other themes.
Test Marketing
Use product experiences, visitor surveys, and consumer observation to gather insights before committing to a full-scale market launch.
Creator / KOL Activation
We can also discuss promotional programs involving local creators and influencers.
CASE STUDY｜ITO EN
An approximately one-month in-café promotion combined with online and offline initiatives
In 2025, ITO EN conducted an approximately one-month product promotion at a dedicated booth inside the café. The campaign also combined an event activation and local influencer initiatives, supporting awareness across both offline and online channels.

Considering Expansion into the Philippines?
Before establishing a local company or signing with a distributor, you can first show your product locally, let people experience it, and observe their response. We can support you from that stage.
