If you've fallen for the small, soft, slightly chaotic world of Chiikawa, this one's a no-brainer. Chiikawa Park is the first big permanent home for the characters, and it lives inside Sunshine City Annex in Ikebukuro. It opened in July 2025 and has been one of the hardest character attractions in Tokyo to book ever since. The short version: if you're already a fan and you're in Tokyo, yes, it's worth building your day around, just book ahead because there are no same-day tickets at the door.
Below you'll find the practical stuff first (hours, tickets, and how to actually find the entrance), then the fun stuff (what's inside and why fans lose their minds over it).

Is Chiikawa Park worth visiting?
Chiikawa Park Meatball Korogashi
For fans, this is an easy yes. The park recreates scenes straight out of the manga at real-world scale, so instead of just looking at the characters, you get to walk into their world and take photos in it. The 2,000-square-meter space is split across two floors, and the whole thing is built around that gentle, funny, slightly emotional tone the series is known for.
If you're not a fan yet, it's still a fun, low-key stop, especially if cute stuff is your thing. That said, it's a compact experience rather than a full theme park, so plan on an hour or two rather than a whole day. Pair it with the rest of Ikebukuro and you've got a solid afternoon.
What travelers who booked on Klook say:
It’s so cute and fun. If your a fan of Chiikawa, it’s worth it to stop by. It’s not an all day thing, maybe 2 - 3 hours at most. There is many places for photo opportunities and the store has a lot of merch. The staff is nice and will be helpful in taking pictures and photos if you go solo.
This is the most fun place I've ever been and it's taken me to a whole different kind of happy-place. Chiikawa Park is like the manga brought to life and every piece on set is a call back to it's manga anime/counterpart. I wish I can comeback again soon. Definitely a must visit for Chiikawa fans, both for kids and adults
Chiikawa Park is such a cute and cozy spot that instantly pulls you into its adorable world. From the charming displays to the fun photo spots, everything connects perfectly to make the whole experience feel magical and totally worth visiting!

How to get to Chiikawa Park
Chiikawa Park sits inside Sunshine City Annex, which is where a lot of first-time visitors get turned around. The park has its own entrance in the Annex building, and it's separate from the main Sunshine City Alpa mall, so don't wander into the big shopping complex looking for it.
The easiest route is via Higashi-Ikebukuro Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line. It's about a 3-minute walk through the underground passage from Exits 6 or 7, and you'll pass near the Sanrio Café on the way. Follow the signs to the Annex rather than heading up into the mall.
Coming from Ikebukuro Station instead? It's about an 8-minute walk from East Exit No. 35, and the station is a major hub on the JR Yamanote Line, so it's easy to reach from almost anywhere in central Tokyo. There's also a tram option: the Higashi-Ikebukuro-Yonchome stop on the Toden Arakawa Line is about 4 minutes away.
Address: Sunshine City Annex B1F & 1F, 3-3-5 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 170-0013
Chiikawa Park highlights: what to see and do inside

The park is designed as a one-way flow: you start on the B1F experience floor and finish on the 1F shop and game floor. Here are the Chiikawa Park highlights worth planning your photos around.
The B1F photo scenes
This is the heart of the park, where manga moments are rebuilt as walk-in sets. Fan-favorite spots include "Chiikawa's House," the very relatable "Hachiware Who Fell Into a Hole," and "Kurimanju's Evening Drinks." Each one is detailed enough that you'll want a few minutes (and a few shots) at each.
Look out for the darker, funnier scenes too, like the Goblin Dungeon-style setups that lean into the series' unexpectedly intense side. It's these little contrasts, cute one minute, chaotic the next, that make the photo zones feel true to the source material.
The three-screen theater
Tucked into the B1F experience area is a theater that plays an original welcome movie made just for the park. It's a nice breather between photo stops and something you genuinely can't see anywhere else, so don't skip it on your way through.
The 1F shops and game areas
Once you're upstairs, the shop floor is where a lot of the money gets spent. The stores carry park-exclusive merch you won't find at regular Chiikawa shops, from T-shirts to plushies, and popular items are known to sell out early in the day. There are also game corners where you can win original prizes, so leave a little time (and IC card balance) for those.
Klook Tip: The layout is one-way from B1F to 1F, so grab your photos before you head up. Once you're on the shop floor, you can't loop back for that scene you missed.
If shopping is a big part of your Tokyo plan, Ikebukuro has plenty more to browse, including the nearby Ikebukuro P Parco mall.
More Chiikawa in Japan
Can't get enough of the little guy? The Chiikawa universe has spread well beyond the park. In Tokyo you can grab a meal at the themed Chiikawa Ramen Buta at Shibuya Parco, which comes with black oolong tea.
Heading to Osaka on the same trip? There's a second Chiikawa Ramen Buta at Shinsaibashi Parco with the same set. Between the park, the bakery, and the ramen shops, you could easily build a mini Chiikawa tour across Japan.
FAQs about Chiikawa Park
Can I still get same-day tickets to Tokyo Chiikawa Park?
No. Chiikawa Park does not sell same-day or walk-up tickets, and there's no ticket counter on-site. All admission is by advance, timed-entry ticket bought online, so you'll need to plan ahead of your visit.
How do I get to Tokyo Chiikawa Park?
The park is inside Sunshine City Annex in Higashi-Ikebukuro. The quickest route is a 3-minute underground walk from Higashi-Ikebukuro Station (Exits 6 or 7). From the main Ikebukuro Station, it's about 8 minutes on foot from East Exit No. 35. Follow signs to the Annex, not the main Alpa mall.
Is Tokyo Chiikawa Park worth visiting?
For fans, absolutely. It's the first permanent large-scale Chiikawa experience, with walk-in photo scenes and exclusive merch you can't get elsewhere. Non-fans can enjoy it too, but it's a compact one-to-two-hour stop rather than a full day out.
What are the best things to see and do at Tokyo Chiikawa Park?
Start with the B1F photo scenes like "Chiikawa's House" and "Hachiware Who Fell Into a Hole," catch the exclusive movie in the three-screen theater, then head to the 1F shops for park-only merch and the game corners for original prizes.
What's included in a Tokyo Chiikawa Park ticket and what are the opening hours?
A ticket covers timed entry to both floors: the B1F experience and photo scenes, the theater, and the 1F shop and game areas. The park is open 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with last entry at 5:40 PM. Note it's fully cashless inside.
