Aooni VR Brings Party Horror to Tokyo Tower for Summer
The Aooni VR attraction is designed as a party game rather than pure horror, letting children play while parents watch and commentate, which broadens the appeal of location-based VR beyond its usual audience.

VR BASE TOKYO returns to Tokyo Tower Foot Town from July 18 to September 6, 2026. Starting August 1, the location-based VR attraction Aooni VR: Blueberry Mass Production Plan joins the lineup. The venue previously drew 20,000 visitors. A hands-on report describes the experience as a party game that blends horror with group play, priced at 1,000 to 1,500 yen per session.
VR BASE TOKYO opened its limited run on the third floor of Tokyo Tower Foot Town on July 18, 2026, and will stay through September 6. The venue previously attracted 20,000 visitors during its last Tokyo Tower appearance, and this year adds Aooni VR: Blueberry Mass Production Plan to the existing Almost Jet Coaster V experience.
The Aooni VR attraction is built around groups of four, with multiple groups playing at once. Players hold a controller in each hand, one of which appears in VR as a smartphone used to collect items and open shutters. The goal is to gather items while avoiding Aooni, and shutters can be closed to hide, though other players can open them again.
According to the person in charge, the design deliberately shifts from the original game's horror toward a party game format, so that screaming and interference between players become part of the fun. Sessions cost 1,000 to 1,500 yen.
