The patisserie "Éclat des Jours" opened in Toyosu, Tokyo in June 2020. "Éclat des Jours" is a coined word meaning "glorious days" in French, and was named with the hope that our sweets will accompany our customers on their special days and everyday moments, and add color to their memorable "glorious days." The concept of Éclat des Jours' sweets is "freshness," "melting texture," and "smoothness." Based on the techniques and flavors that owner chef Yohei Nakayama acquired through his training in France, we value textures that are familiar to Japanese people and easy to eat. We aim to bring out the maximum flavor of the ingredients themselves while adding contrast to simple compositions. Our goal is to be a comprehensive patisserie. We offer a wide range of products, including entremets (whole cakes), petit gateaux (individual cakes), baked goods such as buttery madeleines and cookies, breads such as baguettes and croissants baked in-store every morning, and chocolates and jams that decorate our display cases. In the future, we also plan to expand our product lineup to include small gifts for everyday use and for relaxing at home. While cherishing French traditions, we are always challenging ourselves with new flavors, and hope to remain a patisserie that is loved by our customers for a long time.

What is Comiket?
Comic Market, commonly known as Comiket, is held twice a year at Tokyo Big Sight and is the world's largest doujinshi fair, attracting fans of specific genres such as manga, anime, and games from all over the country. A doujinshi fair is a market where creators independently produce and sell manga, novels, illustration books, and other works. Unlike commercial publishing, it has developed as a place for fans to interact with each other and to present their individual creations.
The venue will be filled with cosplayers dressed up as anime and game characters. The sight is refreshing even for first-time visitors, and allows you to get a close-up look at Japanese otaku culture.
However, the situation on the grounds was even more brutal than expected, with the Comiket venue a veritable battlefield.
Even indoors, the temperature rises due to the number of people and the heat, and there are always participants who collapse from heatstroke. Staying hydrated and taking measures against heatstroke are essential, and if you just go in with the thought of "I'll just take a quick look," you may be forced to retreat.

If you're going to take on the battlefield, you need a strategy.
If you don't decide in advance what you want to see and what you want to buy at Comiket, you'll end up being overwhelmed by the vast venue and overwhelming crowds.
Also, you cannot enter the venue without an admission ticket. It is recommended to purchase your ticket in advance if possible. Tickets are available on the day, but only wristbands for afternoon entry are available, so you cannot enjoy the venue from the morning.
Admission methods and rules vary depending on the event, so be sure to check the latest information in advance.
A break is a must after Comiket!
At Comiket in the middle of summer, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors and the heat of the crowds can wear you down considerably. Long journeys and carrying luggage can make your legs and shoulders feel heavy, and your throat can become dry.
In such cases, leave the crowded venue area and find a quiet place to rest.
Especially after the closing ceremony, the Yurikamome and Rinkai line stations are extremely crowded, and there are long lines at nearby convenience stores and cafes. There are few benches to rest on inside the venue, so it can be difficult to find a vacant spot in the shade.
In such cases, we recommend giving up on resting near the venue and moving one or two stations instead. Just by moving a little further away, the crowds will calm down and you'll be able to find cafes and facilities where you can sit and rest. If you head towards Toyosu, you can enjoy the seaside scenery while traveling, and there are also many spots where you can relax.
Treat yourself to some sweet treats at Eclat de Jour Toyosu
Located about 15-20 minutes by Yurikamome from Tokyo Big Sight and a 5-minute walk from Toyosu Station on the Yurikamome line, Eclat des Jours Toyosu is a patisserie that combines Parisian techniques with Japanese ingredients.
The shop has a calming atmosphere that will gently soothe your tired body and mind. Take-out is also available, so it's recommended to enjoy it at your hotel or after returning home.
A recommended dish for summer
"Vacance" is a glass dessert that will give you a refreshing moment after a midsummer fatigue.
A rich pistachio bavarois is layered under a refreshing grapefruit and orange jelly.
This is a luxurious combination that allows you to enjoy both the tartness of fruit and the richness of nuts.
There's also a sweet and sour apricot puree at the bottom, which keeps you entertained until the very end.
It looks gorgeous and is the perfect summer treat to help you forget the heat.

Reset your fatigue in a natural hot spring
In addition to sweets, Toyosu also has other spots where you can relax and unwind.
The Manyo Club in Toyosu, Tokyo, is offering a Comiket discount for three days only, from August 15th to 17th, 2025.
- 20% off admission fee
- Late-night pack + 1 drink included 6,700 yen
You can use it for day trips, or if you use the late-night package, you can stay until the morning without worrying about catching the last train. No reservations are required, and you can sweat it out in the hot springs and take a nap in the relaxation room, which also helps prevent heatstroke, and you can go home feeling refreshed both physically and mentally.
Relax in Toyosu while savoring the afterglow of the event
Comiket in the middle of summer can drain your energy more than you might imagine, due to the heat outside and the heat inside the venue.
After the event, take some time to cool down and refresh yourself in the cool Toyosu while enjoying sweets and hot springs.
