hololive’s bus-guide pop-up makes its first stop in Ikebukuro

hololive’s talents are taking on a bus-guide look for a new official pop-up tour. The hololive production official pop up shop opened in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro district on October 3, 2026, with four more cities to follow.

Tokyo’s trio and a bus stop for your favorite plush

Tokyo’s regional lineup features Tokino Sora, Nakiri Ayame and Rindo Chihaya. New original merchandise uses the specially drawn bus-guide artwork, while the shop also offers selected hololive production OFFICIAL SHOP items and licensed goods. Anniversary commemorative goods and other made-to-order items are excluded from the OFFICIAL SHOP selection.

Inside, life-size illustrated panels carry the theme into the displays, and a bus-stop-themed photo spot accommodates hololive friends plush or your own favorite plush. Talent signatures and newly written messages are also on display, with original in-store announcements by participating talents planned.

Visitors who have downloaded holoplus can scan the venue’s QR code to receive a venue-specific digital stamp.

Where to go—and what October 4 visitors need to check

The Tokyo shop runs from October 3 to November 1, 2026, on the second and third floors of Ikebukuro PACKS. The address is 3-2-1 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, and opening hours are 11:00–20:00 JST.

The official notice calls for advance lottery-based, time-slot admission restrictions throughout October 3 and 4. If you are visiting on October 4, check your assigned slot and the official October 4 LivePocket page before going.

Outside those two dates, admission restrictions or numbered entry tickets may still be used depending on crowding.

Bookmarks, mini flags and a shopper: three different thresholds

Purchase bonuses depend on the tax-inclusive amount spent in a single transaction:

• One regional ticket-style bookmark for every ¥2,200 spent.
• One regional mini flag for every ¥5,500 spent.
• One original vinyl shopper for a total of ¥7,700 or more, with one shopper per transaction.

The bookmarks and mini flags each come in three random designs in Tokyo and two random designs at each of the other cities. Designs cannot be chosen. All purchase bonuses are distributed first come, first served while supplies last.

Merchandise purchase limits may also apply, and individual items can sell out.
