What this is
A shopping mall pop-up tour built around Love Live! Sunshine!!, the idol anime set in Numazu — which makes the LaLaport Numazu stop particularly fitting, as the city is the actual real-world setting of the series and a pilgrimage destination for fans. Billed as the 1st installment of the Love Live! Series Caravan Tour, the event runs across two Mitsui Shopping Park locations in Numazu and Kisarazu, offering newly drawn original merchandise, a digital stamp rally, and novelty gift campaigns. Admission restrictions may be enforced during peak congestion, with updates posted to the official X account.
Who should go
Dedicated Love Live! Sunshine!! fans, especially those who have already visited or plan to visit Numazu as a series pilgrimage site. Casual anime shoppers may find the merchandise appealing, but the format is squarely aimed at committed fans.
Good to know
Entry to the event area is free, but merchandise purchases are the main draw — budget accordingly as limited items sell quickly. Admission restrictions can be enforced during congestion; check the official Love Live! Series Caravan Tour X account on the day before heading out. LaLaport Numazu is a large modern shopping mall with plenty of food options, so you can make a full day of the visit. The Kisarazu stop runs for only four days (July 17–20), so fans targeting that location should plan early. Inquiries to the venues directly are not permitted — all official updates come through the event's X account and special website.
