Arina Tanemura’s 30th anniversary is getting a real-world celebration: an original art exhibition is officially set for Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto in 2026. If you’ve ever fallen for her sparkling shōjo vibes, this is the kind of trip you can plan around. This guide breaks down the dates, venues, and a few entry rules that can save you from last-minute stress.
Arina Tanemura’s anniversary exhibition is officially set
Manga artist Arina Tanemura is celebrating 30 years of her career with a special original art exhibition titled “Kirameku Shōjo-tachi no Yumemonogatari.” It’s scheduled to tour three cities in Japan: Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Updated details on the exhibit content, tickets, and commemorative goods will be announced through the official channels as they become available.
Dates and cities: Tokyo, Osaka, then Kyoto in 2026
The Tokyo stop runs from April 17 to May 18, 2026. Osaka follows from June 19 to July 20, 2026. Kyoto closes the tour from August 21 to September 21, 2026. If you want a simple rule for planning, think spring in Tokyo, early summer in Osaka, and late-summer Kyoto.
Venue addresses and the easiest access notes
Tokyo’s venue is Space Galleria on the 8th floor of animate Ikebukuro Main Store (1-20-7 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo). The access note on the official site lists it as about a five-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station’s East Exit.
Osaka’s venue is Space Gratus at animate Osaka Nipponbashi Annex (4-15-17 Nipponbashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka). The official access notes list several nearby stations, and it’s roughly a 10-minute walk from Namba-area stations.
Kyoto’s venue is Space Galleria KYOTO on the 6th floor of Kyoto Avanti (31 Higashikujō Nishisannō-chō, Minami-ku, Kyoto). The access note highlights Kyoto Station (Hachijō Exit) as the key landmark for getting there.
Opening hours and the “don’t miss it” last-entry rule
Tokyo and Kyoto are scheduled for 10:00 to 21:00. Osaka differs: 11:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, and 10:00 to 20:00 on weekends and holidays. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing at every venue.
One more thing to lock in: the final day at each location ends early at 17:00, with last entry at 16:30. If you’re traveling on the last day, plan to arrive earlier than you think you need.
Simple venue rules that can save your day
Re-entry is not allowed, and the event is not a timed rotation system, so you can take your time once you’re inside. If the venue gets crowded, staff may ask visitors to wait, or they may limit entry for safety.
Food is not allowed in the venue area, and there are no restrooms inside. Strollers cannot enter, and large luggage such as carry-on suitcases is discouraged since the venue cannot store items for you. The organizer also notes that photos or video may be recorded inside the venue and used for future promotions.
Where to track tickets, goods, and operational updates
The most reliable place to start is the official site: Official page. For quick updates such as crowd notices or schedule changes, follow the exhibition’s official SNS: Official X.
Plan your visit and keep up with the latest info
Pick the city that best matches your 2026 travel window, then keep an eye on ticket and goods announcements as they roll out. If you’re visiting with friends, remember the early final-day closing and the no re-entry rule so nobody gets separated.
For venue-related questions during the exhibition period, you can also use animate’s store inquiry form: Store inquiry form.
