ARCH PARTY 2025: A Celebration of Stylish Families in Japan
In March 2025, the vibrant cities of Tokyo and Osaka played host to the much-anticipated "ARCH PARTY 2025," organized by ARCH DAYS. This event attracted a remarkable gathering of 1,120 trend-sensitive parents and their children, all coming together to celebrate milestones and enjoy an array of engaging activities.
The events took place in two exciting locations: from March 8-9 in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, and from March 21-22 in Futako-Tamagawa, Tokyo. The event was not only well attended, with 590 guests in Osaka and 530 in Tokyo, but it also featured a fully booked schedule for special commemorative photography sessions. Parents had the opportunity to capture beautiful moments with their little ones, showcasing new beginnings in a spring-like environment adorned with cherry blossoms.
A Stylish Gathering
As parents and children flocked into the stylishly curated venues, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation and creativity. The first highlight of this year’s event was the professional photography sessions, where families could have their important milestones captured in an idyllic setting. Fully booked in advance, these sessions featured delicate floral arrangements, bringing a sophisticated touch to the family portraits—a service that attendees appreciated for its quality and uniqueness.
As the little ones posed with their backpacks for upcoming school days, the photography sessions became treasured moments for many families, embodying the essence of special days like birthdays, entrance ceremonies, and other significant family occasions.
A Marketplace of Popular Brands
The ARCH PARTY 2025 also included a vibrant marketplace featuring a selection of ten carefully chosen kid and baby fashion brands at each venue. The brands available were loved by attendees who are known for their discerning taste in children’s items and accessories. Shoppers took advantage of the chance to purchase previously online-only products in person, leading to considerable sales. The highest recorded sale at the event reached an impressive ¥548,000, showcasing the excitement generated among fashion-conscious families.
Creative Workshops
A standout feature this year was the collaborative workshop with Epson, offering families the chance to immediately print their event photos. This unique twist allowed parents and children to bring their memories to life by decorating acrylic holders and drawstring bags with their newly printed images. Participants left with one-of-a-kind keepsakes that, as many expressed, brought joy and nostalgia.
