Machi Asobi vol.31 runs on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Tokushima. Ahead of the event, Tokushima Awa Odori Airport has been decorated with panels for six works. The works are Demon Slayer, whose anime series is being rebroadcast; LONA, an original anime with concept and screenplay by Akiko Nogi set to air in spring 2027; Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya FINALE, scheduled for 2027; Fate/EXTRA Record, releasing on January 28, 2027; Fate/Grand Order, described as going strong past its 10th anniversary; and Witch on the Holy Night, opening in theaters on Friday, November 20, 2026. The airport also displays image panels for Berserk of Gluttony, set to air in 2027, BanG Dream! Our Notes, released in September 2026, AnimeJapan 2027, Berserk of Gluttony, and the Palworld Official Card Game booster pack Awakened Legend, scheduled for Friday, October 30, 2026. A photo spot lets visitors pose with the airport mascot Uzupii, Tokushima Prefecture mascot Sudachi-kun, and Matsushige Town mascot Matsushige Kakaricho.
GIGAZINE's coverage of the airport takeover notes that artwork on the upper-level tapestries is mirrored, and that small tapestries hang on the pillars at the departure counter. Among the additional displays: the school ensemble ADV "Disdisdiscussion," scheduled for 2027; the visual novel "COCORO," released on August 27, 2026; "Tales of Eternia Remastered," released on October 15, 2026; and Ruby from the nationwide "[Oshi no Ko]" project "[47 Prefectures' Children]," which has run since 2025.
One pillar carried "Awakened Legend" on all three sides, and a neighboring pillar added a fourth display of the Palworld card game pack. Past Machi Asobi takeovers at the same airport featured Witch on the Holy Night, Demon Slayer and Azur Lane (vol.30), and Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, SPY x FAMILY, Re:Zero and [Oshi no Ko] (vol.29).
A separate "Gourmet Hunt" stamp rally also started on Saturday, October 3 and runs through Monday, November 23, with 24 participating restaurants. Completing a store's hunt condition earns a stamp and a postcard: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc, which Fuji TV rebroadcasts starting October 2026, plus collaboration cards for Fate/Zero, marking 15 years since its anime broadcast, and Mahoutsukai no Yoru, which opens on November 20, 2026.
Each store sets its own condition. BAKINY asks for a Naruto Kintoki daigaku imo, Ikezoe Kamaboko Shop for purchases of 864 yen or more, and KROWA BAGELS for 1000 yen or more including a lotus root bagel. Collecting six stamps at the ufotable CINEMA counter earns two prize postcards.
