About Tabekko Doubutsu MIRAI LAB.
Building on the success of the previous Tabekko DoubutsuLAND events, which have drawn over 320,000 visitors since 2023, this newest edition is themed around a futuristic “MIRAI LAB.” Visitors explore a sparkling space where star fragments are collected to power the “Tabekko Doubutsu Train” that runs through the night sky. The main attraction is the “Starry Kirarium,” a roughly 10-meter diameter circular LED screen surrounded by mirrors, creating a magical starfall effect. Beneath it, a ball pit invites guests to step inside for memorable photos.
A special web app exclusive to the venue allows guests to follow the event’s story and complete missions. Successful participants receive one of nine collectible “MIRAI Tickets,” each featuring different Tabekko Doubutsu animal designs. Other highlights include original food and drinks, a stage where visitors can meet the animal characters in person, and limited-edition goods.
