Exclusive Event Merchandise
Apart from the thrilling experiences, guests can also acquire unique merchandise themed around the film. Treasures include original bromides inspired by the movie and a Venetian mask-style keychain exclusive to participants of this Kyoto event, ensuring memories that participants can cherish.
Event Overview
"This is the story of your very own visit to the confession room."
