Faqs

Is there a difference in the types of products available on different days?

While most creators are present for all three days, some items and specific workshop schedules may vary. It is recommended to check the official exhibitor list if you are looking for a specific artist or limited-edition product.

Can I enter the venue multiple times with a single one-day ticket?

Re-entry is permitted as long as you are wearing the official wristband provided at the entrance. If you lose or remove the wristband, you may be denied re-entry and would need to purchase a new ticket if available.

How do I receive the special bonus merchandise mentioned with advance tickets?

The original bonus items featuring Hikari Shimamura’s illustrations are distributed directly at the venue entrance upon presentation of a valid advance ticket. These items are exclusive to advance ticket holders and are not available for same-day ticket purchasers.

Is the venue accessible for families with small children or infants?

Admission is free for elementary school students and younger when accompanied by a parent or guardian. The venue is child-friendly, though it can become quite crowded, so parental supervision is required at all times.

What should I do if I am unable to download the Smart Ticket at the venue?

Due to expected signal congestion near the venue, it is highly recommended to download the e+ app and your digital ticket at your hotel or home. If you encounter issues, staff may be able to assist if you have your reservation details ready.
