Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary Exhibition in Harajuku Opens with VR Ride and New Exhibits

The Dragon Quest 40th anniversary exhibition "Dragon Quest the DIVE" opens July 17 at Tokyu Plaza Harajuku's Harakado, running through September 6. It features a VR ride on a Killer Panther, two new interactive exhibits (face-tracking "La's Mirror" and surprise "Dokidoki Treasure Box"), and a full merchandise lineup including a catalog, slime plushies, 11 adventure book pin badges, and T-shirts. Tickets are timed and sold on a first-come basis.

The exhibition's two new interactive exhibits were announced alongside the full merchandise lineup. "La's Mirror" uses face-tracking technology to reflect visitors as monsters, while "Dokidoki Treasure Box" simulates opening a treasure chest in a cave. The on-site shop, named "Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary Item Shop," sells exclusive goods including the 11-piece adventure book pin badge set covering Dragon Quest I through XI, slime plushies, and T-shirts with designs like the Mimic opening pocket T-shirt. Tickets are timed and sold on a first-come basis.
