What this is
Coji-Coji — Momoko Sakura's surreal, deadpan manga character beloved since the 1990s — gets a dreamy summer showcase inside HANA・BIYORI, the greenhouse-style flower park at Yomiuriland in Tokyo. Newly drawn illustrations pairing Coji-Coji with colorful blooms are displayed throughout the park, and collaboration activities are scattered across the grounds. It's a gentle, visually charming crossover that leans into the character's whimsical aesthetic rather than loud merchandise blitzes.
Who should go
Fans of Momoko Sakura's work and anyone with nostalgia for 90s manga will get the most out of this. Families with young children and couples looking for a photogenic half-day outing are also a natural fit.
Good to know
Tickets go on sale via the official HANA・BIYORI or Yomiuriland website from July 10 at 5:00 PM — foreign credit cards are generally accepted on these platforms. HANA・BIYORI is a climate-controlled greenhouse flower park, making it more bearable in August heat than fully outdoor venues, though some areas are open-air. Arrive early in the day to avoid peak afternoon crowds and to get the best light for photos among the floral installations. Additional collaboration details and any merchandise information are still to be announced, so check the official site closer to the event start date.
