A free walk-through build across three floors, on a numbered-ticket system rather than advance applications, is Sanrio testing how far a character event can carry foot traffic in Shibuya without a ticket draw up front.

Anime Anime reports that "KUROMI'S MYSTERIOUS DEPARTMENT STORE" will run from October 19 to November 1 at MEDIA DEPARTMENT TOKYO in Shibuya. The free event uses all three floors, with an information counter, a secret corridor, cosmetics and boutique photo spots, and a third-floor secret base. Shop items include mascots at 2,860 yen, candy-style acrylic charms at 770 yen, and Multi Ring+ at 1,628 yen.
The venue is a three-story building at MEDIA DEPARTMENT TOKYO, and visitors enter through an information counter where Kuromi greets them before a secret corridor with her silhouette. The second floor holds photo spots built as a cosmetics shop and a boutique, including items Kuromi conceived such as "SUPER LONG LONG LASHES" and "HOOD COLOR MAGIC", plus bags rigged to start laughing. Move through and the venue answers back: Kuromi appears in mirrors, displays start moving, and at a set time a giant Kuromi peers in from outside the window. The third floor is a secret base only Kuromi may enter, ending with a message from her.
