The Nostalgic Sunho-seki Fair Returns to Ikebukuro

Get ready to step back in time as the beloved Sunho-seki Fair returns to Ikebukuro! This pop-up event, organized by Mitto Merhen Co., Ltd., will take place from November 28 to 30, 2025 at the Sunshine City Alpa event space. It promises to rekindle the excitement and joy felt by countless young girls across Japan during the Showa and Heisei eras.

A Journey into Nostalgia

The Sunho-seki Fair aims to recreate the joy and whimsy of the past, reminiscent of a treasure box filled with shiny trinkets that captured the hearts of many during the early 2000s. Sunho-seki products, featuring popular items such as Hoppé-chan and a dazzling array of affordable, cute accessories, made a significant mark on the culture of young girls during that era. Recently, interest in the retro fashion and collectibles of the Heisei period has surged again, thanks in large part to the Heisei Retro Shops that have popped up across the nation.

As we move into this exciting event, feedback from attendees has already begun pouring in, with many expressing their nostalgia and delight. “It feels like I’m returning to my childhood!” and “I’ve always loved Hoppé-chan!” are just a few of the comments shared by enthusiastic visitors.
