Tokyo City View’s July 8 ticket drop finally explained what visitors are actually buying when they book the new The Apothecary Diaries collaboration at Roppongi Hills. Before this, the event mostly read like a stylish key visual and a theme. Now it reads like a full visitor plan, with exact ticket tiers, shop bonuses, preview-campaign details, and a clearer picture of what the 52nd-floor experience will look like from the moment you enter.
When the event runs and how ticketing works
According to the official July 8 release, the event runs from August 1 through October 26, 2026 at Tokyo City View on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. Hours are 10:00 to 22:00, with last admission at 21:30. The entire event uses a timed-entry reservation system. Online sales opened at 13:00 on July 8 and continue through 21:30 on October 26. Same-day counter sales begin on August 1 at 10:00 and run until the same final-night cutoff.
Tokyo City View says tickets are on sale through Lawson Ticket, the Tokyo City View ticket portal, Klook, and Trip.com. Standard admission still gets you into the event, but the release makes clear that visitors should think in terms of reserved slots rather than casual walk-in browsing. Children need tickets from age four, and visitors using qualifying disability certificates can bring one companion free without a reservation, though that exception does not include the limited ticket bonus.
Ticket prices, bonus ticket, and merchandise
The pricing is divided into normal admission and a limited bonus-ticket tier. Standard online prices are 2,200 yen for adults, 1,600 yen for high school and university students, 1,000 yen for ages four through junior high, and 1,900 yen for visitors 65 and over. Same-day counter tickets rise to 2,400 yen, 1,700 yen, 1,100 yen, and 2,100 yen respectively.
The limited bonus ticket adds 100 to 200 yen depending on the category. Online rates are 2,300 yen for adults, 1,700 yen for high school and university students, 1,100 yen for ages four through junior high, and 2,000 yen for visitors 65 and over. Same-day counter prices are 2,600 yen, 1,900 yen, 1,300 yen, and 2,300 yen. The extra item is one random “Night Sky Dance” clear bookmark featuring 猫猫 (Maomao), 壬氏 (Jinshi), or Loulan, cut from the series’ dance-scene imagery in a long film-strip style. Tokyo City View says the item is limited in quantity and will be handed out at the in-venue special shop after ticket confirmation.
The same shop will also sell original event merchandise built around the collaboration key visual, and the release says more items will be added later during the run. That matters because the July 8 update is not just about entry. It is also the first real explanation of how the paid extras and venue shopping are being handled.
What the event will show inside Tokyo City View
The event theme is built around the series’ dance imagery, not just generic night-view romance. Tokyo City View says the entrance will combine its panoramic skyline with large-screen animation centered on Maomao’s dance scene, turning the first room into a crossover between Tokyo’s real nightscape and the show’s visual world. A recap video looking back over the story so far will also play inside the space.
The other headline feature is a Maomao statue described as a first public showing in Japan. The release treats it as one of the main photo points, alongside displays based on memorable scenes and lines from the series. The event also has a preview-campaign component: ten winners, each allowed one guest, will be invited to an advance session on July 31 from 18:00 to 21:00. To enter, users have to follow the official event X account and quote-repost the campaign post with an answer to the prompt asking which character they would most like to watch the Tokyo skyline with. Entries close July 14 at 23:59, and winners will be notified by DM from July 21 onward.
The release also names TVS REGZA as special sponsor, saying its display technology and projector hardware will be used to push the image presentation harder inside the venue. In other words, this is being sold as a viewing environment as much as a themed exhibition.
