■Important Information
・Tickets are required for all participants, whether you are a cosplayer or a photographer taking pictures of cosplayers in regular clothes. (If you plan to cosplay and take photos, please purchase a cosplay ticket.)
・Tickets may sell out before the event, so we recommend purchasing yours early.
・Ticket holders may use the luggage storage area at Sunshine City, available from check-in until the end of the event. Please note that valuables cannot be stored and should be kept with you.
・If you are cosplaying, you must use the changing rooms provided at the event venue (Sunshine City). Changing into your costume at home and arriving in costume is prohibited. (In Japanese cosplay culture, it is considered undesirable to travel between one’s home and the event venue while wearing a costume.)
・This event welcomes many children, so we ask that all participants adhere to the dress code regarding skin exposure. Costumes deemed overly revealing may require the wearer to put on a cover-up.
・For a complete list of rules and guidelines, please check the official website before attending.
