Universal Studios Japan opened the doors to its limited-time attraction "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Story Walk ~Journey of Memories~" on May 29 with a ceremony attended by the anime's lead voice actors. Atsumi Tanezaki, who voices Frieren, and Nobuhiko Okamoto, who voices Himmel, both said they had already gone through the walkthrough before the public. Tanezaki described the experience as one that delighted both eyes and ears, and said she nearly cried during a reflective scene from Frieren's journey. Okamoto was especially struck by a room featuring a statue of Himmel. The attraction opens to guests on May 30 and runs through January 11, 2027.
Alongside the walkthrough, USJ is also running a story ride titled "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End × Story Ride ~The Bird Monster and the Carriage Journey~" and a themed restaurant called "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End ~Restaurant of Memories~."
