What this is
Sanrio's virtual idol group Hapidanbui takes over Tokyo Skytree Town for a summer splash event where all six members appear live on stage — and the crowd gets genuinely soaked. The special stage performances (15 minutes each, twice daily on August 22–23) involve large amounts of water spraying onto the audience, with giant balloons and mist showers adding to the spectacle. A free fountain time open to all runs daily throughout the two-week period, no ticket required.
Who should go
Sanrio fans and Hapidanbui followers, particularly those already registered on the Sanrio+ app since the special stage requires advance lottery entry. Families with kids will enjoy the fountain time sessions without needing a ticket.
Good to know
The special stage is free but requires advance lottery registration through the Sanrio+ app during July 22–29 — without this, you cannot enter the stage area. The POP-UP STORE and Digital Stamp Rally run throughout the full event period at Tokyo Solamachi 2F, Area 9, and are open to all visitors without a lottery ticket. Tokyo Solamachi is a large, well-signposted shopping complex attached to Tokyo Skytree with card payment widely accepted throughout. Bring a change of clothes or a waterproof bag if attending the special stage — water exposure is significant and explicitly flagged by the organizers. The venue is indoors/covered and highly accessible, with elevators and step-free access throughout Solamachi.
