What this is
Sanrio's annual character ranking wraps up with a fan celebration — stores nationwide stock limited 'Thank-You Packs' containing acrylic charms and goods featuring the top-voted characters including Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, Pompompurin, and more. Spend ¥1,100 or more and you also receive a special Thank-You Card showcasing all 90 characters who entered the 2026 ranking. Stock is limited and varies by location, so early visits are advisable.
Who should go
Sanrio collectors and character merchandise fans, particularly those who followed the 2026 ranking vote. Kids and parents will enjoy it too, but the limited-edition angle skews this toward dedicated fans who want to secure specific items.
Good to know
No ticket is required — this is a retail campaign at Sanrio directly operated stores and select department store Sanrio sections. Payment is typically by cash or card at Sanrio stores; major credit cards are generally accepted at directly operated locations. The Thank-You Pack and Thank-You Card are available in limited quantities, so visiting on or close to July 1 gives you the best chance of securing them. Confirm your nearest participating store on the official Sanrio special webpage before making a trip, as availability differs by location. Foreign visitors can shop freely without any membership requirement.
