Why You Should Visit

The location-based game Monster Hunter Now returns to the streets for its first real-world event in two years, this time in Namba, Osaka. Over November 14 and 15, the Namba area of Chuo-ku, Osaka becomes the playing field: you walk the city, hunt monsters and team up with other hunters along the way. Alongside event-only in-game content, partner companies are lining up food and shopping, including the Monster Hunter Sakaba tavern and CAPCOM STORE. A ticket is required to take part.
