What this is
The Jujutsu Kaisen 5th Anniversary Special Popup is an official commemorative retail and exhibition event celebrating five years of the globally beloved dark fantasy anime series. Running from June 10 through August 31, 2026, the popup spans multiple baseyard tokyo locations across Japan, including Harajuku, Shinjuku, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Sapporo. The event showcases all three waves of the 5th anniversary key visuals and offers exclusive merchandise not available elsewhere, alongside items from the TOHO animation STORE ONLINE. It represents a major milestone celebration for one of the most commercially successful anime franchises of the past decade.
Who should go
This event is ideal for Jujutsu Kaisen fans of all ages, from casual viewers to dedicated collectors hunting limited-edition merchandise. The popup atmosphere will be energetic and immersive, drawing large crowds of anime enthusiasts, so expect a lively, passionate fan environment. International visitors and tourists in Tokyo who are fans of the series will find the Harajuku location especially convenient given its proximity to other pop culture destinations. Arrive early in the day to beat queues, and note that entry is managed by advance lottery during peak periods to control congestion.
Good to know
Entry to the popup is managed by advance lottery during busy periods — check the official baseyard tokyo website or social media channels to register for a slot before you visit, as walk-ins may be turned away during peak times. The Harajuku flagship store opens first on June 10 and is likely to see the heaviest demand, especially on opening weekend; weekday mornings are your best bet for shorter waits. Exclusive KV Art Cards are distributed randomly per ¥2,000 spent and cannot be guaranteed — supplies are limited and will end without notice, so early visits are strongly recommended for collectors. The baseyard tokyo Harajuku store is a well-established anime merchandise retailer in the Harajuku area, with a compact but well-organised layout; expect it to be crowded during school holidays and weekends throughout the summer run.
