OTEMACHI Time Slip 2025: A Nostalgic Journey

On December 8, 2025, the bustling heart of Tokyo will become a time capsule as the OTEMACHI Place hosts the "OTEMACHI Time Slip 2025" event. This unique happening honors the 100th anniversary of the Showa period by inviting both the young and old to dive into the nostalgia of a bygone era. For five memorable days, the venue will transform into a vibrant showcase of everything that made the Showa era special.

Dive into Nostalgia

At the center of the event lies a fully immersive photo spot designed to replicate a classic Showa-era room, complete with tatami mats, a retro CRT TV, and handcrafted wooden furniture. Visitors can capture pictures from the outside or step inside to create heartwarming memories solo or with friends. Everyone is encouraged to engage with the nostalgic ambiance in their own way, rediscovering the charm of yesteryear.

In addition to the stunning photo opportunities, attendees can explore various displays and experience zones that feature nostalgic memorabilia from the Showa era. Retro markets will offer vintage books, and visitors can savor the iconic "koppepan" bread, a staple of school lunches from the past. For those wishing to send a touch of nostalgia to friends or family, an event-exclusive New Year's postcard mailbox will allow them to pen messages before mailing them off.
