Get Ready for the SHINJUKU Capybara Summer Festival!
In just three days, the much-anticipated
SHINJUKU Capybara Summer Festival will kick off! On July 27, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, gather at the B1 Patio Square of Shinjuku Island Tower for a fun-filled day. Presented by
Clearstone Co., Ltd., this event promises unique encounters and enjoyable activities, all for free!
Meet the Capybaras!
Two real capybaras will be present, allowing attendees the chance to snap some memorable photos with these adorable creatures. The highlight might just be their ‘
Munch Time,’ where they indulge in juicy watermelon! However, please remember that the timing of this scrumptious moment will depend on the capybaras' health and the temperature.
- - 🌟 Capybara Munch Time: The precise timing of these delightful munching moments will be decided based on the capybaras' condition, so keep your fingers crossed!
- - ❗ Please bear in mind that capybaras' health takes precedence, and munching might not happen as planned. Your warm support as we watch these beloved animals will be greatly appreciated.
Fun for Everyone!
In addition to meeting capybaras, there will be exciting and free activities perfect for families. Experience the unique
Kapi-Kakigori (capybara-shaped shaved ice) and test your skills at classic festival games like
yo-yo fishing and
super ball scooping! These activities will spark joy in both kids and adults!
As an added bonus, attendees who post photos on social media can receive a
ChubbyMaru plush keychain! The first 300 lucky individuals will take home this charming collectible.
A Day of Excitement & Discovery
Stay tuned for performances by balloon artist
Minami, which will add further entertainment to the day. With an ever-rushing lifestyle in the city, this festival provides an ideal chance to connect with animals and immerse oneself in a joyful environment.
