Yokohama Landmark Tower (Landmark Plaza) and MARK IS Minatomirai (Yokohama, Kanagawa; operated by Mitsubishi Estate Property Management Co., Ltd.) will hold a holiday event that brings the worlds of "DRAGON QUEST" (DQ) and "FINAL FANTASY" (FF) together, running from Wednesday, November 11, 2026, to Monday, January 11, 2027 (national holiday). The event, titled "Yokohama Minatomirai Winter Holiday 2026 - The Winter Fantasy Woven by DQ x FF," is held in cooperation with Square Enix Co., Ltd. and the City of Yokohama, and it livens up the season from Christmas through the New Year.
DRAGON QUEST is a Japanese role-playing game (RPG) series in which the player becomes the hero and sets out on a grand adventure to defeat the demon lord who threatens the world. It reached its 40th anniversary on May 27, 2026, counting from the first title in 1986. FINAL FANTASY has been popular since its release in 1987, and it has achieved more than 215 million units shipped and downloaded worldwide. Both RPG series are still loved across generations, and this winter they collaborate in Minatomirai for the first time.
Beloved characters such as Slime and Chocobo appear at Yokohama Landmark Tower, MARK IS Minatomirai, and across the Minatomirai district. Landmark Plaza has a holiday tree that blends the worlds of both titles, and MARK IS Minatomirai has a large holiday object themed on Slime and Chocobo. MARK IS Minatomirai also hosts a hands-on workshop where visitors choose either Slime or Chocobo.
The Christmas market held as part of "Yokohama Mirai Light" (ヨコハマミライト), Yokohama's signature illumination, also features DQ and FF, with limited food and drinks inspired by the monsters and characters of both titles. Character statues and panels serve as photo spots inside the facilities, and a stamp rally and a special stage by the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Band are also held. In cooperation with the City of Yokohama, a sticker campaign, photo spots, and a collaboration fireworks display extend the event across the central Yokohama waterfront area.
