The Yokai Museum (Director: Chuhei Yagyu) will extend its popular night event "Night Museum" into the summer season due to high demand. The event was originally held from April 29 to June 28, 2026 (26 days total). "Night Museum" offers a "kimodameshi" (test of courage) experience perfect for summer nights. In the dimly lit museum, eerie sounds echo, and yokai suddenly appear. It's a special nighttime experience that combines thrilling fear with the excitement of solving mysteries. Participants will explore the quiet museum after closing, armed with flashlights, searching for yokai that only appear at night while gathering clues hidden within the museum. Participants will receive an original "ofuda sticker" as a gift. Over 100 People Participated in the Spring Event!
