Universal Studios Japan is set to host "One Piece Premier Summer 2026," a limited-time event themed around the TV anime ONE PIECE, from July 30 (Thursday) to November 19 (Thursday), 2026. The event marks a milestone year for the park as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
The summer event returns with three flagship attractions — a live entertainment show, a themed restaurant, and a roller coaster collaboration — each delivering what the park describes as a mix of laughter, emotion, and excitement drawn from the world of ONE PIECE.
Three Main Attractions
One Piece Premier Show 2026
The live entertainment show "One Piece Premier Show" has run annually since 2007, and the 2026 edition features an original storyline in which Hancock and the Kuja Pirates join the Straw Hat crew. The show unfolds at Water World with stage combat and a close-up greeting experience with the characters.
