Chiikawa, illustrator Nagano's hugely popular character series, is teaming up with CITEN (シテン), a brand run by United Arrows, for a special collection. It goes on sale in Japan from Tuesday, September 15, 2026. The lineup centers on two loungewear sets, plus a tote bag, a pouch, and a few other accessories — six items in all.
If you are planning a trip and hoping to shop a Chiikawa collaboration, this page lays out the confirmed facts first (date, prices, where to buy), then flags what the brand has not announced yet. For another recent drop, see our guide to the Chiikawa x 7-Eleven fair 2026.
On sale from September 15, 2026. The roomwear is ¥8,910 each; the bags and accessories run ¥2,530–¥2,970 (tax included). Purchases are limited to one of each item, in each color, per person.

United Arrows announced the collection on September 1, 2026. Note that Taiwan gets only a selection of items in October, so you won't find the full six-item Japanese lineup there.
The two loungewear sets (¥8,910 each)
The centerpiece of the collection is two loungewear sets. Both cost ¥8,910 including tax, and the difference between them is the fabric: satin and velour.

- Chiikawa CITEN Lip Case Key Ring with Mirror (¥2,530)
- Chiikawa CITEN Pouch with Mirror (¥2,970)
The tote rolls up and snaps shut, and the PC case cushions your laptop. Both the key ring and the pouch come with a small mirror, which makes them handy for travel.
Where to buy, including from abroad
In Japan, you can buy the collection at all CITEN stores, the CITEN online shop, and the character shops Chiikawa Land and Talking. For visitors, one of the easiest stops is Chiikawa Land, a permanent Chiikawa store run by Kiddy Land. Its Tokyo Station branch, inside Tokyo Character Street, is easy to work into an itinerary.
One caveat: for the character shops Chiikawa Land and Talking, the release doesn't say which specific branches will stock it. If you are aiming for the Tokyo Station Chiikawa Land, check that store's own announcement before you make a special trip.
Overseas, CITEN Taiwan (Eslite Spectrum Nanxi and Q Square in Taipei) is set to sell a selection of items in October 2026, not the full Japanese lineup. If you are traveling from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Singapore, the widest choice is still in Japan.
Even after the collaboration items are gone, standard Chiikawa goods are available year-round at permanent stores like Chiikawa Land.
Before you buy
There is real demand for these drops, but showing up on release day does not guarantee you will walk away with all six items. Keep three things in mind.
First, the launch is staged rather than all at once, so not every item is guaranteed to be on shelves on September 15. Second, with a one-per-person limit on each color, popular pieces may run low quickly. Third, details such as lotteries, numbered entry tickets, or advance online sales had not been announced as of September 1, 2026.
The brand says those details will be announced later on CITEN's news page and official social accounts. Check CITEN's latest announcement before you go.
