What this is
Konami's long-running arcade rhythm game pop'n music gets a limited-run themed café experience built around a starry night sky aesthetic, running simultaneously in Tokyo and Osaka through summer 2026. The Tokyo venue is Hibiya OKUROJI — the atmospheric brick-arch dining corridor under the elevated railway near Hibiya Park — while Osaka fans head to Princess Café at Hirakata Mall. Expect collaboration menu items and exclusive merchandise tied to the game's characters and music.
Who should go
Pop'n music fans and rhythm game enthusiasts are the clear audience here. Anime café regulars who enjoy limited-run collab menus will also find it familiar territory.
Good to know
Reservations for collaboration cafés in Japan are almost always mandatory and open via a dedicated booking portal linked from the official website — check it the moment bookings go live to avoid missing out. Hibiya OKUROJI is an outdoor covered arcade space, so the Tokyo venue has an open-air feel; dress for summer heat. Merchandise is typically sold separately from the café seating and may have per-person purchase limits on popular items. Foreign visitors should note that booking systems for collab cafés often require a Japanese phone number — services like Mobal or a local SIM can help. Both venues are relatively compact, so expect a lively, busy atmosphere during peak summer weekends.
