Fans of Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) are in for a special experience at the collaboration event titled 「アニメ『鬼滅の刃』追憶回廊ノ導 (Tsuioku Kairou no Shiruhe)」, held at the immersive retail experience venue Bandai Namco Cross Store, Ikebukuro in the Toshima district, running from June 12 through July 26, 2026. The event uses the theme of “memory (追憶)” as its central concept.

About Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kimetsu no Yaiba is a manga by Gotoge Koyoharu, published by Shueisha, with 23 volumes that reached a worldwide cumulative print run of 220 million copies. The story follows Kamado Tanjiro, a young boy who loses his family to a demon and sets out to save his younger sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a demon, by joining the Demon Slayer Corps and fighting relentlessly against demons.

The anime adaptation produced by ufotable first aired in April 2019 with the Kamado Tanjiro Risshinhen arc and has continued as a long-running series to the present day. Most recently, the film 「劇場版 鬼滅の刃 無限城編 第一章 狛犬再来」 opened on July 18, 2025, closed on April 9 after 266 days of screenings, grossed ¥40.2 billion, and drew more than 27.45 million viewers — the second highest-grossing film of all time in Japan, behind only the Mugen Train arc.

Event Highlights

The Tsuioku Kairou no Shiruhe event presents content designed to invite visitors to relive the memorable scenes throughout the series. Key highlights include:

• New artwork by ufotable of the main characters — Tanjiro, Nezuko, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke, and Tomioka Giyuu — used for venue decoration and exclusive merchandise.
• Mini-games inside the venue, with special prizes not available anywhere else.
• Collaboration cafe serving food and drinks themed to the world of Kimetsu no Yaiba, such as waffles designed to evoke the Infinity Castle (無限城).
• Original exclusive merchandise for sale both at the venue and online through Premium Bandai, so fans outside the host cities won’t miss out.
