Dr.STONE and TeNQ announce ROAD TO THE MOON
On July 7, 2026, Tokyo Dome announced that Dr.STONE is heading into Space Travelium TeNQ with a special exhibition titled ROAD TO THE MOON. The exhibition will run from July 18 to October 18, 2026 in the venue's special exhibition area. According to the official pages, visitors can expect memorable scenes built around the moon and starry skies, newly drawn visuals, photo spots, a limited-edition ticket package, cafe collaborations, and a recorded voice guide from Senku.
This is not a one-line announcement with a poster and a date. Tokyo Dome's July 7 update adds more texture: the collaboration will extend into the TeNQ CAFE 138 menu, the merchandise lineup, and a set of exhibition details that make the visit feel like a full experience rather than a quick promotional stop. For a series that has always linked science, invention, and long-distance ambition, that kind of physical presentation makes sense.
What Was Announced
The core news is simple: Dr.STONE and Space Travelium TeNQ are teaming up for an exhibition that turns the series' space-facing imagery into a real-world visit. The English event page says the exhibit will feature memorable scenes, exclusive photo spots, original merchandise, limited-edition tickets that include goods, and collaborative menu items at the museum cafe. The Japanese event page adds that admission is included in the facility fee, so the exhibition is part of the visit rather than a separate ticketed show.
- The exhibition title is ROAD TO THE MOON.
- The run is July 18 to October 18, 2026.
- Senku will have a recorded voice guide inside the exhibition.
- The July 7 press release also confirms themed drinks and food at TeNQ CAFE 138.
The July 7 press release goes one level deeper by naming the collaboration menu. It says the cafe will offer four character-themed drinks inspired by Senku, Ryusui, Stanley, and Kohaku, plus food items tied to scenes and motifs from the series. The same release also says the venue has already revealed the full original merchandise lineup. That matters because the food, the goods, and the voice track together turn the exhibition into a layered event instead of a single display wall.
Why It Matters
Dr.STONE is a series that treats science as adventure, so a museum-style collaboration is a better fit than a generic storefront promotion. The manga and anime have always leaned on tools, experiments, maps, and carefully staged problem solving. An exhibition can translate those strengths into room design, captions, and objects you can physically move through. In other words, the event is not just selling the brand; it is giving fans a space that mirrors how the story works.
The timing also feels deliberate. The official English event page notes that the anime has just aired its final episode, which means the exhibition arrives at a moment when fans are likely thinking about the series as a completed journey. That gives the event a different emotional weight from a launch tie-in. Instead of previewing something new, it invites visitors to revisit the series after the broadcast run has closed.
There is also a practical reason this announcement stands out. Dr.STONE has a setting that reaches outward: moon shots, star charts, machines, and a long-term expedition mindset. Those elements are easy to visualize in a physical space, especially at a venue like Space Travelium TeNQ, which already frames itself around space experience rather than just pop culture branding. The collaboration feels built around the material of the story, not just its logo.
Context for International Fans
For international readers, the useful detail is that Tokyo Dome provides a full English event page, not just a Japanese announcement that has been summarized elsewhere. That makes the dates, venue, and purchase rules easier to check directly at the source. If you are planning a Tokyo trip, that matters because you can verify the event without relying on translated reposts or fan threads.
Space Travelium TeNQ is inside Tokyo Dome City, which makes the location straightforward to place on a travel map. The official page says the exhibition is in the special exhibition area and that admission is included in the facility fee. The site also warns that during July 18-20, July 25-26, and July 31-August 2, original merchandise can only be purchased by visitors with numbered tickets. That is the sort of operational detail that can decide whether you visit opening week or wait for a calmer date.
The July 7 press release also makes the event more legible for people who follow anime through experiences rather than only through streaming. A cafe menu, limited goods, and a voice guide create multiple entry points. Someone who is not a deep Dr.STONE fan might still visit for the space theme or the Tokyo Dome City stop, while a longtime fan gets the extra payoff of seeing the series' science aesthetic translated into a real venue.
What Happens Next
The main date to watch is July 18, 2026, when the exhibition opens. After that, the practical question is whether you want to go during the first rush or on a quieter later visit. If merchandise is your priority, the numbered-ticket windows are the dates to keep in mind. If you care more about the exhibition itself, the English and Japanese event pages are the best source for updates and restrictions.
For now, ROAD TO THE MOON looks like a clean bridge between a finished anime arc and a real-world venue that can carry its imagery well. That combination should make it useful not only for local visitors, but also for overseas fans who want a concrete reason to add Dr.STONE to a Tokyo itinerary.
