Why You Should Visit

Chiikawa Mucha Photo Party!! brings Chiikawa, Hachiware and Rakko to the outdoor roof garden at Ario Kakogawa for one day, with a photo session and an AR stamp rally around the mall. In the photo session each group takes its own pictures with the characters on their own camera, in three rounds at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00. It's free, but only 50 groups per round get a ticket, handed out from 9:00 that morning. The AR rally has you collect stamps on your smartphone, with a prize for finishing. Best for Chiikawa fans with kids who can get there early.
