Dive into the Enchanting World of YOKAI in Tokyo

From March 27, 2026, the Terada Warehouse in Tennozu, Tokyo, will host the extraordinary exhibition titled "Moving YOKAI TOKYO - Imagination of Japan." This innovative art event invites visitors to explore the fascinating realm of YOKAI, delving into Japanese folklore with a modern twist through an immersive art experience.

The exhibition is organized by Hitohata Inc., led by CEO Takeaki Toyama, and runs until June 28, 2026. It offers a unique campaign that rewards attendees wearing traditional Japanese garments, such as kimonos and yukatas, with a discount on their tickets. Visitors dressed in these garments can enjoy a 100 yen discount off the entry fee on the day of their visit, enhancing the cultural experience of the exhibition.

A World of YOKAI Awaits

The "Moving YOKAI TOKYO" exhibition showcases art inspired by Japan's mythical creatures, such as demons, tengu, kappa, and myriad YOKAI illustrated by renowned Edo and Meiji-era artists. Using cutting-edge digital technology, including 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens, the event brings these mystical beings to life in a vibrant and interactive environment.

This marks the first immersive digital art museum of its kind, celebrating the rich history of YOKAI and their artistic representations. Working alongside notable institutions like the Nishio City Iwase Library, Japan's first antique book museum, and the YOKAI Museum in Shodoshima, the exhibition aims to unravel the history of YOKAI culture, connecting it to contemporary pop culture.

Special Offers for Traditional Attire Wearers

The traditional clothing discount campaign runs alongside the exhibition, encouraging attendees to embrace Japanese heritage. Guests who arrive in kimono or yukata on any day between March 27 and June 28, 2026, will receive a reduction in their ticket price, making the art experience more accessible. This initiative fosters a deeper appreciation for the cultural narratives surrounding YOKAI.

The exhibition also promotes group visits, offering discounted admission for parties of over 20 people on weekdays, making it ideal for school outings and company events. To benefit from the group rate, arrangements must be made in advance by contacting the event organizers.

Immersive Experiences and Cultural Learning

Visitors will not only enjoy gripping digital displays but will also encounter lifelike sculptures of YOKAI. The exhibition aims to create a bridge between past and present, unveiling the delightful humor often found in YOKAI portrayals. Participants will also learn about the cultural significance behind YOKAI art and its evolution over time.
