What this is
Running across 100 ROUND1 entertainment centres in Japan simultaneously with 59 locations in North America, this three-month ONE PIECE takeover turns the bowling-and-karaoke chain into a Straw Hat crew hangout. Expect large-scale store decorations, themed photo spots, crane game machines stocked with collaboration prizes, limited-edition Chopper plushies exclusive to ROUND1, and ONE PIECE-branded food and drink menus. It's less a ticketed event and more an extended themed experience you drop into whenever you visit a participating store.
Who should go
ONE PIECE fans of any age, especially those who enjoy crane games and collectible hunting. Families with kids will find the photo spots and plushies a natural draw, and anyone already planning a ROUND1 visit gets the themed experience at no extra entry cost.
Good to know
No separate event ticket is needed — you pay for activities (bowling, karaoke, crane games) at standard ROUND1 rates, with optional collaboration packages available at the counter. ROUND1 Japan stores generally accept IC cards and credit cards for activity packages, but individual crane machines require coins or a ROUND1 prepaid card, so keep ¥500–¥1,000 in coins handy. Limited-edition Chopper plushies are ROUND1-exclusive and not available online, so stock will vary by location and date. Popular stores in Tokyo (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro) will likely see the highest demand — arriving on a weekday morning gives you the best chance at crane game prizes before they deplete. The collaboration runs until mid-October, so there's no rush, but themed food menus may change or end earlier than the decoration period.
