What this is
Fans of the beloved Gintama parody segment 'Mr. Ginpachi's Class' get a dedicated pop-up shop at Shibuya MODI running July 10–20, 2026, built around a fresh set of 'Independent Study'-themed illustrations created specifically for this event. Original merchandise featuring the new artwork will be on sale, and every ¥2,000 spent earns a random photo card from a set of seven designs — the usual gacha-style incentive that drives repeat visits.
Who should go
Gintama fans, particularly those with a soft spot for the Ginpachi-sensei spin-off gag segments. Collectors chasing the full set of seven photo card designs may find themselves returning more than once.
Good to know
Shibuya MODI is a commercial complex directly connected to the Shibuya Station area, making it very easy to find. Pop-up shops of this type are typically cash-friendly but increasingly accept IC cards and major credit cards — bring some yen just in case. The photo card bonus (one random card per ¥2,000 spent) is a standard incentive at anime pop-ups; if you want multiples, budget accordingly and be prepared for duplicates. There is no ticket or entry fee — you simply browse and purchase. The shop floor space at MODI pop-ups is usually compact, so weekends and the opening days may get crowded; a weekday visit mid-run is the most relaxed option.
