Chiikawa's first official pop-up store in Hong Kong opened today (April 2) at the Ocean Terminal of Harbour City! Co-launched by NIKO-NIKO and Harbour City, the store will be open until April 27, featuring over 400 authentic Japan-imported Chiikawa merchandise items and several Hong Kong-exclusive limited products.
🎟️ Fans Queue for Entry Vouchers
This morning, a large crowd of fans lined up at Ocean Terminal to collect same-day entry vouchers, eager to be among the first to meet Chiikawa in Hong Kong. Once the store officially opened, visitors entered in an orderly fashion, snapping photos at every corner. Some fans were so excited to see the Chiikawa backdrop wall that they jumped for joy.
On sale are various Chiikawa-themed items, including limited-edition plushies, accessories, printed T-shirts, and bags. Fans swarmed the booths to pick their favorites, with long queues at checkout. Popular picks include plush keychains and practical items like tote bags and T-shirts.
🛍️ Fans Share Their Excitement
Ms. Lin, who visited with friends through an online reservation, said she's been a long-time Chiikawa fan and was thrilled about the pop-up. She purchased a printed T-shirt and a tote bag but felt the store was "a bit small," hoping for a larger setup and more new products.
Another fan, Ms. Cheung, arrived early to queue for vouchers after missing out on online bookings. She proudly showed off her haul—Chiikawa dolls, socks, keychains—and even wore a Chiikawa backpack from a previous collection, expressing her deep love for the character.
🧸 Limited-Edition Collector Items Launching April 9
Starting April 9, the store will release 21 classic plush keychain reissue items over three phases. These include popular expressions and limited variants that fans can collect. To ensure fairness, each customer may only purchase one of each item. Reservations are available via the KKday platform.
👕 Latest Japanese Apparel Arrives in Hong Kong
The pop-up also features the latest fashion items released in Japan on March 28. These include:
- Cotton T-shirts,
- Printed tote bags,
- Headscarves featuring Chiikawa characters and food themes.
🌸 "Chiikawa Wishing Garden" Interactive Zone
A highlight of the event is the "Chiikawa Wishing Garden", themed around springtime. The display includes three wishing trees, with Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi waiting under them.
Visitors who spend HK$300 or more can receive a Chiikawa Wish Card to write personal messages or product suggestions for the creators. These cards can be hung on the trees for a memorable interactive experience—and possibly have your wish come true!
