What this is
Newly drawn illustrations themed around 'backs poised for battle' are the centrepiece of this official Golden Kamuy pop-up shop, running across two Marui department store locations in Shinjuku and Kobe. Fans can browse and buy exclusive merchandise featuring the new artwork before it's available elsewhere, and purchases of eligible items enter you into an on-site lottery for additional prizes. Standing panels displaying the illustrations will also be set up at both venues.
Who should go
Golden Kamuy fans who want early access to exclusive merchandise tied to the TV anime. Collectors hunting limited-edition goods will find the purchase lottery an added incentive.
Good to know
Entry to the shop floor is free, but budget for merchandise purchases — limited-edition pop-up goods at anime events in Japan typically range from ¥500 to ¥5,000+ per item. The purchase lottery requires buying qualifying products, so check the official site for eligible item thresholds before you go. Both venues are inside Marui department stores, which generally accept major foreign credit cards, though individual pop-up stalls sometimes operate cash-only — carry yen to be safe. Weekday visits during opening hours (11:00 AM) are your best bet for shorter queues. The Shinjuku and Kobe runs do not overlap, so plan your trip accordingly if you want to visit both.
