The Sai-Kyo-Oh Zukan Festival in Tokyo Tower 2026 is coming to Tower Hall A on the first floor of Tokyo Tower FootTown in Minato, Tokyo from July 18 (Saturday) through September 27 (Sunday), 2026. (September dates are limited to weekends and national holidays.) The event lets families immerse themselves in the world of the mega-popular Sai-Kyo-Oh Zukan: The Ultimate Tournament — a book series with a cumulative print run exceeding 6.6 million copies — which drew more than 40,000 visitors when it was held last year.
Visitors take on the role of researchers on Saikyou Island and work through a variety of missions and attractions inspired by the world of Sai-Kyo-Oh Zukan: The Ultimate Tournament.
Saikyou Island Adventure Tour!!
Hosted by Mr. Most, this attraction features a live appearance by an incredibly lifelike Tyrannosaurus rex — the result of a collaboration with DINO-A-LIVE, a hands-on dinosaur live entertainment experience by ON-ART. The T-rex appears right in front of guests.
All-New 3D Battle Theater
Visitors put on 3D glasses to watch an original Japan-premiere battle between a Triceratops and a Titanoboa in stunning 3D — based on the anime Sai-Kyo-Oh Zukan: The Ultimate Tournament.
Digital Coloring Battle — Let's Battle Together!
In partnership with the next-generation kids' theme park Little Planet, guests can color their own Sai-Kyo-Oh Zukan creatures and send them into battle in a digital attraction game.
"Sai-Kyo-Oh Zukan" Riddle Quiz
Clues related to the strongest creatures are hidden throughout Tokyo Tower. Guests who solve the riddle receive an original prize.
Create Your Own Photo Memory
A digital photo spot lets guests pose alongside powerful creatures in augmented reality.
