What this is
Fukui City transforms into a real-world version of the setting from the TV anime *Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle* (Chiramune) for a city-wide collaboration running through November 2026. What makes this edition stand out is the debut of newly drawn anime illustrations — a first in the history of the Chiramune × Fukui collaboration series. Visitors can follow a digital stamp rally across five series-associated locations, collect an original A5 art board by completing it, and pick up limited-edition merchandise including acrylic stands, badges, and clear files featuring the new artwork. AR content, heroine photo frames, and in-store announcements voiced by the five heroines round out a layered fan experience spread across the city.
Who should go
Fans of the Chiramune anime who can travel to Fukui will get the most out of this — it's a niche pilgrimage event rather than a general tourist attraction. Collectors should note that stamp rally prizes and shop cards are first-come, first-served.
Good to know
The Chiramune × Fukui Map is available free at the Fukui City Central Information Center and AKUSHU BOOK&BASE — grab one immediately on arrival as it maps all five stamp rally locations. Limited-edition merchandise goes on sale August 21 at Fukufukukan (Fukui City Tourism and Local Products Center) and AKUSHU BOOK&BASE; popular items like acrylic stands tend to sell out quickly at anime city collaborations, so early visits are advisable. The digital stamp rally runs via a web application, so ensure your phone is charged and has mobile data before heading out. Stamp rally completion prizes and shop cards are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis only — there is no guarantee of availability later in the event period. Most participating venues are likely cashless-friendly, but carrying some yen is recommended for smaller shops in Fukui City.
