Chiikawa at Tokyo Skytree 2026: Goods, Cafe Drinks & Ticket Prices (Jul 10–Oct 31)

Chiikawa is taking over Tokyo Skytree. The collaboration, called "Chiikawa: Hoshifuru Skytree to Himitsu no Shima" (roughly, "Chiikawa's Skytree of Falling Stars and the Secret Island"), runs from July 10 to October 31, 2026, timed to the new movie Eiga Chiikawa: Ningyo no Shima no Himitsu (映画ちいかわ 人魚の島のひみつ, roughly "Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid Island"), which opens July 24. It's the second time the two have teamed up, three years after the first.

There are limited-edition goods, four collab drinks at the observation-deck café, special nightly lighting that shifts by character, and a photo service up in the Tembo Galleria. If you're flying in to meet Chiikawa, this pairs your merch run with one of Tokyo's most iconic sightseeing spots in a single visit. Below is what you can get, when, where, and for how much, laid out in tables.

What "Chiikawa at Tokyo Skytree" actually is

The venue is the Tokyo Skytree observation decks—the Tembo Deck (天望デッキ) and the Tembo Galleria (天望回廊)—plus a goods space on the 1st floor. The run is long, about four months, but popular items can sell out early.

Expect bigger crowds around the film's release. If you want a calmer visit, aim for a weekday morning, and avoid the film's release day (July 24) and weekends.

Limited goods: where, when, and how much

Goods are sold at "SKYTREE SPACE" on the 1st floor and at the online "Chiikawa Market." One thing to know: for the first three days (July 10–12), only visitors who hold an observation-deck ticket can enter the goods space. Showing up just for the merch on those days won't work unless you also head up the tower. From July 13, you can enter the shop without going up.

Here are the goods-space hours.

The online "Chiikawa Market" opens for sales on July 10 (Fri) at 11:00, which is an option if you can't visit in person or worry about sell-outs.

These are the main items with confirmed prices. Things that come in several designs, like the can badges and keychains, are often sold blind (random), so if you're set on a specific character, plan to buy a few.

There's more beyond this list. Check the venue and the official page for the full lineup, the latest prices, and any purchase bonuses (giveaways based on how much you spend). It's a big range, so set yourself a budget before you start filling a basket.

Collab café: the "Hoshifuru" drinks at SKYTREE CAFE

At "SKYTREE CAFE" on Tembo Deck Floor 340, there are four limited drinks, one per character, each ¥1,100 (tax incl.).

To use the café, you need to buy a "meal-voucher observation-deck ticket" in advance. Seating is capped at 60 minutes per slot, and the voucher amount depends on the number of seats: a 1-seat plan comes with a ¥1,100 voucher, a 2-seat plan with ¥2,200, and a 4-seat plan with ¥4,400.

You can't just walk up on the day, so if the café is your goal, lock in a reservation slot early. Check the official page for how to book and current availability.

Special lighting and things to do inside

Skytree's evening lighting also goes special for this run: designs themed on each character shift roughly every 100 seconds. It's worth a look from the ground even on a night you don't go up.

Inside, here's what you can do.

At the "SKYTREE ROUND THEATER" on Tembo Deck Floor 350, a special video plays for the duration of the event

On Tembo Galleria Floor 445, a limited photo service (the photo is free; a print is ¥1,800 with an event-only mount)

Photo spots dotted around the Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria

A paid capsule toy, the "Hoshifuru Ouen Magnet" (8 designs, random, ¥440, cashless payment only—no cash, up to 2 tries per person)

When you photograph the character décor, be considerate of other visitors at the busier photo spots.

Tokyo Skytree tickets and access

Most of this event assumes you go up the tower, so here's the basic Tokyo Skytree info—useful no matter which characters are in town, and still handy after the collab ends.

Since April 2026, the observation decks use day-by-day variable pricing: the busier the day, the higher the price. Below are the rough starting prices for adult same-day tickets, but they shift by date, so confirm the exact amount and availability on a booking site. Note that you can only reach the Tembo Galleria (450m) by first going up to the Tembo Deck (350m) and paying an add-on.

Summer holidays, weekends, and the days around the film's release get crowded, so it's worth securing a date-and-time ticket on the official site in advance; same-day tickets can sell out on busy days.

Access is easy. Skytree connects directly to both Tokyo Skytree Station (とうきょうスカイツリー駅) on the Tobu Skytree Line and Oshiage (Skytree-mae) Station (押上駅), served by the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, Toei Asakusa Line, and Keisei Oshiage Line. It's also within walking distance of Asakusa, so many people pair it with an Asakusa outing.

The same Tokyo Skytree Town also has the Sumida Aquarium. It's an indoor spot that holds up well against heat and rain, which makes it a good fallback when the weather turns. If you want to compare Tokyo's aquariums, we cover it in Tokyo Aquarium Guide 2026.

Tips so your visit goes smoothly

A few things worth knowing before you go.

On opening days July 10–12, the goods space is for observation-deck visitors only. You can't drop in just for merch on those three days.

Popular designs and limited-quantity goods can sell out early, even with a long run. If you have your eye on something, buy it early.

Some capsule toys and goods are cashless-only, so cash won't cut it everywhere. Have an IC transit card or a credit card ready.

Tickets use variable pricing and cost more on busy days, so it pays to book ahead.

For a limited window, Skytree turns all-Chiikawa to mark the movie's release. Fit it into your Tokyo trip and stop by to meet your favorite character.
