The event aims to appeal to fans of all ages, and Seibu Yuenchi promises to deliver a delightfully immersive atmosphere perfect for dedicated fans of 'The Idolmaster.'

Pricing for the digital pass is set at 5,400 yen for adults and 4,100 yen for children.
Seibu Yuenchi has enhanced its accessibility for visitors, allowing guests to purchase the Toku-Toku Pass easily on their smartphones. This move reflects the growing trend towards digitization and convenience in event planning. As Seibu Yuenchi’s General Manager Tomohiro Nishida states, "The digital ticket will allow for the convenient purchase of transport and amusement park admission, making it easier for families and visitors." This novel approach aims to provide an effortless experience, ensuring that attendees can focus on enjoying the festivities and attractions available.
