Nijigennomori Brings Anime Park Goods to Kyoto’s 2026 Manga Fair

Nijigennomori will bring a selection of its anime park merchandise to Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair 2026, giving visitors a city-center chance to shop goods tied to Naruto, Godzilla, Crayon Shin-chan, Dragon Quest, and Attack on Titan.

On September 7, 2026, Nijigennomori announced the merchandise lineup for its booth at KYOMAF 2026, the Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair. The announcement is about a limited convention appearance and product display: it does not announce a new anime project or a new attraction at the Awaji Island park. For fans planning a Japan trip, however, it creates a useful second stop for official Nijigennomori goods during one of Kyoto’s largest manga and anime events.

What Was Announced

Nijigennomori says its booth will operate at KYOMAF’s main venues, Miyako Messe and ROHM Theatre Kyoto, on Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20, 2026. The company presented part of the planned lineup rather than a complete catalogue. The announced groups are merchandise from Godzilla Intercept Operation, Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park, NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato, and Dragon Quest Island. Goods connected to the park’s current Attack on Titan collaboration event will also be available.

The official announcement describes these as Nijigennomori’s original goods and collaboration goods, with the lineup intended to bring the park’s different worlds together in Kyoto. The company’s own site frames the park as an experience destination in Hyogo’s Awaji Island, where visitors can enter physical attractions based on major anime, manga, and game properties. At KYOMAF, that destination-based model is represented through a temporary booth instead of a full attraction.

The booth follows KYOMAF’s published main-venue schedule. On September 19, the event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. JST, with final entry at 4:30 p.m. On September 20, it runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. JST, with final entry at 3:30 p.m. Nijigennomori lists advance admission at ¥1,800 and same-day admission at ¥2,300, while directing visitors to the official KYOMAF website for ticket conditions and other details.

Why It Matters

The most distinctive part of this announcement is the way it connects a regional anime park with a convention in a historic tourist city. Nijigennomori’s permanent attractions are deliberately tied to place: the park uses Awaji Island’s outdoor setting to turn licensed worlds into physical activities. A KYOMAF booth compresses that model into merchandise and a short encounter that can reach visitors who are already in Kyoto for the fair.

That makes the announcement relevant beyond a simple product list. Anime fandom in Japan often moves between screens, shops, exhibitions, themed cafés, transport collaborations, and destination attractions. This booth sits at the intersection of those formats. The practical significance is an inference from the two official descriptions: Nijigennomori is using a major industry event to make several location-based brands visible to fans who may not have time to travel to Awaji Island on the same trip.

The selection also gives the booth a broad audience. Naruto, Godzilla, Crayon Shin-chan, Dragon Quest, and Attack on Titan represent different generations and genres, so visitors do not need to follow a single series to find a relevant item. At the same time, the announcement is careful about scope. It identifies a partial lineup and does not claim that every park product, every size, or every item from the current collaborations will be stocked.

Context for International Fans

KYOMAF 2026 is a physical event in Kyoto, not an online sales announcement. The official English event page lists Miyako Messe, ROHM Theatre Kyoto, and the Kyoto International Manga Museum as the event’s venues. The main-venue schedule is 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. UTC on September 19 and 20; for readers in North America, that is 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. EDT or 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. PDT across the overnight period. Those conversions are mainly useful for following event updates, because no livestream or remote booth shopping has been announced for Nijigennomori.

Visitors should also separate three different things: admission to KYOMAF, access to the Nijigennomori booth, and access to the park’s attractions in Awaji Island. The ¥1,800 advance and ¥2,300 same-day prices are the event admission figures stated in Nijigennomori’s announcement; they are not a ticket for the park. The announcement likewise does not confirm overseas shipping, a post-event online release, international stock, or a reservation system for the booth goods. International fans who cannot attend should not assume that a product shown in the lineup will later appear in the official online shop.

For travelers, Kyoto is the relevant base for this announcement, while Awaji Island remains a separate destination. Fans combining both locations should check transit plans and each attraction’s own ticket information. The official KYOMAF English page is helpful for the event framework, but the Nijigennomori announcement is the source to watch for the booth’s own product details.

What Happens Next

The next concrete checkpoint is the official KYOMAF weekend on September 19–20. Before traveling, fans should recheck the KYOMAF ticket page for admission rules, venue access, and any updated event guidance, then revisit Nijigennomori’s official announcement page for additions to the partial lineup. A booth number, purchase limits, payment details, exact stock, and any online follow-up are not yet confirmed in the sources reviewed for this report.

Nijigennomori’s official site should also be checked separately for the status of its Awaji Island collaborations, especially the Attack on Titan event. Those park experiences are not replaced by the Kyoto booth, and their dates, ticketing, and operating conditions may differ. The clearest expectation for now is simple: KYOMAF visitors can look for a temporary Nijigennomori merchandise presence in Kyoto, while fans seeking the full attraction experience will still need to plan for Awaji Island.
