On December 28, 2024, the city of Omuta will come alive with the Chiikawa Mucho Photo Exhibition, taking place at the Ion Mall Omuta. The event will feature the adorable characters from the popular SNS and LINE stickers, created by illustrator Nagano, capturing the hearts of fans across Japan.
Set against the backdrop of one of Fukuoka Prefecture’s busiest shopping centers, the exhibition aims to bring together fans and families for a day filled with fun activities and opportunities to capture special moments with beloved characters.
The highlight of the event will be the 'Chiikawa & Hachiwari' photo sessions, hosted at the 1F Ariake Court Stage. There will be three scheduled session times: 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM, each lasting for 30 minutes. Each session will accommodate 50 participating groups, allowing plenty of photo opportunities for all attendees.
Participation is free, but visitors must secure their place by obtaining the 'photo session participation ticket,' which will be distributed on the day of the event. Attendees can collect their tickets beginning at 10:00 AM from the A-1 entrance outside the mall, with only 50 tickets available for each of the three sessions.
Alongside the photo sessions, attendees will also be able to engage with the Chiikawa AR Rally—an innovative augmented reality experience where participants use their smartphones to explore designated AR points throughout the venue. By visiting these points, they can collect stamps which can be redeemed for exciting prizes at the end of their adventure.
Given the rising popularity of Chiikawa and Hachiwari, this event is expected to draw crowds eager for interaction and memorable experiences. Celebrated not only for their cute designs but also for their relatability among fans, these characters symbolize the charm and creativity of modern Japanese culture.
The Ion Mall Omuta is located at 3-4 Misaki-cho, and the photo exhibition will be positioned prominently on the first floor, making it easily accessible to all visitors. This family-friendly event promises to be not only entertaining but also inviting for fans of all ages.
For those interested, the Chiikawa Mucho Photo Exhibition presents a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the charm of these beloved characters. Those planning to attend should arrive early to secure their participation tickets, ensuring they don’t miss out on this unique experience.
Mark your calendars for December 28, 2024, and prepare for the Chiikawa Mucho Photo Exhibition at Ion Mall Omuta. Prepare for smiles, laughter, and delightful captures with your favorite characters!
