Online tickets for a collaboration event between TV anime The Apothecary Diaries and the Tokyo City View observation deck go on sale from July 8 (Wednesday). The event runs from August 1 (Saturday) to October 26 (Monday), 2026, at Tokyo City View on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, marking the first-ever collaboration between the anime and the observation deck.
At the entrance, a large observation space is transformed into a grand exhibition themed around the "dance" performed by key characters in some of the anime's most memorable scenes, giving visitors the feeling of stepping into the world of the story. Several items are also being shown in Japan for the first time. Combined with the sweeping view from 250 meters above sea level — one of the finest in central Tokyo — the staging creates a fantastical atmosphere unlike anything visitors have experienced before.
Exhibition Highlights
A Fantastical Space Where Roppongi's Skyline Meets Maomao's Dance
Stepping into the venue, visitors are first greeted by an entrance area where a sweeping panoramic view blends with striking animation visuals. "Maomao's Dance," one of the series' signature scenes, is projected on a large monitor in sync with the city view outside, transforming the real sky into a stage from the story itself. Special footage looking back on the story so far is also shown.
A Statue of Maomao, Shown in Japan for the First Time
As a centerpiece of the exhibition, a statue of Maomao — on display in Japan for the first time — looks as if she has stepped straight out of the series. It's also a must-see photo spot.
The dramatic lighting and visuals throughout the venue are supported by high-end display equipment from TVS REGZA Corporation, including RGB Mini LED panels and 4K laser projectors, bringing out the full visual quality of the animation.
Limited-Quantity Bonus Ticket Goes on Sale
A "limited-quantity bonus ticket," bundled with merchandise available only through this offer, will also go on sale.
Everyone who purchases the bonus ticket receives one "Night Sky Dance" clear bookmark, an event-exclusive item. The bookmarks feature scenes of Maomao, Jinshi, and 楼蘭 performing their "dance," in three randomly distributed designs. The tall, film-like design can be tucked into a smartphone case or used as an everyday bookmark.
Online tickets go on sale from 1:00 PM on July 8 (Wednesday). The bonus ticket is available only while supplies last.
