What this is
Animate is marking the end of the TV anime Dr. STONE with a touring mini exhibition and dedicated merchandise shop, stopping at four major cities across Japan through late October 2026. The Fukuoka leg runs at Animate Fukuoka PARCO from October 3–25, 2026. Exclusive merchandise includes acrylic stands, plush toys, jewelry-style badges, rocket-shaped ballpoint pens, and memorial boxes — all themed around the 'Together with Why-man Ver.' storyline featuring the core cast. Spend ¥1,100 or more and you'll receive a randomly drawn illustration card from a set of 16 designs.
Who should go
Dr. STONE fans who want series-finale merchandise and collectibles, especially those chasing the random illustration card bonuses. Casual anime shoppers browsing Animate Fukuoka PARCO may also find the display worth a look.
Good to know
Entry to the exhibition area is free, but the main draw is purchasing exclusive merchandise. Animate stores in Japan generally accept major credit cards including foreign Visa and Mastercard, though having some cash on hand is useful for smaller purchases. The random illustration card bonus cannot be exchanged or selected by design, so be prepared to receive duplicates if buying multiple times. Animate Fukuoka PARCO is located within the PARCO department store complex in Tenjin — the Animate store is typically on an upper floor, so check the in-store directory on arrival. The touring schedule means Fukuoka shares its run dates with Animate Sendai, so stock levels may vary; arriving in the first week of October gives the best selection.
