One of the most anticipated highlights of the celebration is the limited-time special exhibition “So Pompompurin!” Exhibition, held in the first-floor event space of the park.
This creative showcase is produced in collaboration with entaku, the team behind viral projects in Japan such as “Too Nice!” Exhibition, which have recently gained major attention across social media.

The exhibition unfolds as a heartwarming story, where Pompompurin’s friend Muffin leads “Team Purin” in creating an over-the-top surprise just for him. The space is filled with playful touches that make you think, “This is so Pompompurin!” at every turn.
Visitors can discover rare and unexpected sides of Pompompurin, including delightfully exaggerated and quirky versions of the character. Throughout the venue, photo spots infused with entaku’s signature humor invite guests to fully immerse themselves in his irresistibly soft and cheerful world.
