A Terrifying Experience Awaits at the JAPAN Drugstore Show 2025
The 25th JAPAN Drugstore Show is set to take place from August 8 to August 10, 2025 at Tokyo Big Sight. This year, Ryukakusan, known for their commitment to throat health, will present an exciting and frightful attraction titled
"Escape from the Zombie Hospital." This interactive horror experience will allow visitors to step into a world filled with suspense and danger, where they must navigate through a zombie-infested hospital to save a young girl from the brink of becoming one of the undead.
An Epic Horror Story
The setting for this thrilling narrative is a small community, a refuge for those fleeing from a zombie-ravaged city. Among them is an eight-year-old girl named
Ryuka who has recently been attacked by zombies. While she has survived for now, time is running out, and she faces the imminent risk of turning into a zombie herself.
As the community learns of a rumor that a doctor at a nearby hospital has developed an antidote to prevent zombification, hope ignites. However, this hospital lies in what was once the bustling heart of a major city but has now deteriorated into a dangerous zone heavily populated by zombies. The journey to save Ryuka is fraught with peril, with no guarantee of safe return.
Despite the risks, visitors will cast aside their fears and embark on this dangerous quest to retrieve the antidote that could save Ryuka’s life. Inside the eerie confines of the hospital, they will hear the haunting growls of zombies as they try to find the cure and escape unscathed.
