Fuji-Q Highland has launched a new way to visit the park without buying a ticket or traveling to Yamanashi. The officially announced VRChat world, Virtual FUJIQ, opened to the public on July 27, 2026 and is available for free at any time. The project was detailed in HIKKY’s official release and keeps attractions from Virtual Market 2026 Summer accessible even after the event itself, turning a limited campaign into a permanent online destination.
A Free Fuji-Q Experience on VRChat
The core appeal is simple: the world is open permanently and free of charge. Instead of treating the VR space as a short one-off promotion, the organizers are making it available as an ongoing place people can enter whenever they want. That gives returning visitors, curious first-timers, and overseas fans a way to interact with Fuji-Q Highland on their own schedule.
According to the official release, the world preserves attractions that were featured during Virtual Market 2026 Summer. In practice, that means the park’s XR push is not ending with the event window. Fuji-Q and HIKKY are carrying the experience forward so it can keep attracting visitors after the seasonal promotion has closed.
Part of a Bigger XR Project
The announcement describes the VRChat launch as part of Fuji-Q’s annual XR project with HIKKY. That broader framing matters because it signals continuity rather than a novelty experiment. Virtual FUJIQ is not being introduced as an isolated digital stunt. It is one piece of a longer collaboration designed to keep building Fuji-Q’s presence in immersive online spaces, and the official release also points readers toward the FUJIQ VIRTUAL PLAZA community for future updates.
That long-term approach also connects to future development. The official notes say the project will continue beyond the current release, with community participation helping shape later updates and even contributing ideas toward Virtual Market 2026 Winter. For users who enjoy watching digital spaces evolve over time, that makes the world feel more like an active platform than a static showroom.
Featured Attractions Inside the World
Two highlighted attractions stand out in the official materials. One is Chou FUJIYAMA, described as a voice-powered VR coaster. The other is Sugoku Nagashimasuka, a two-choice quiz water attraction. Even from those short descriptions, the design direction is clear: the world is trying to recreate the playful, high-energy feel of an amusement park while also using the interactive possibilities of VR.
Because the announcement specifically names these attractions, they appear to be central examples of what visitors can expect from the experience. They also help explain why the project fits VRChat well, where participation and social interaction are often as important as visual accuracy.
A Fast-Growing Community
The related FUJIQ VIRTUAL PLAZA community reportedly passed 10,000 members within roughly two weeks of recruitment. That is an early sign of strong interest around the project, especially for a destination that mixes tourism, event culture, and social VR. The official announcement says that community will play a role in shaping future content, which could help keep the world active after the initial launch period.
For Fuji-Q, the release shows how amusement parks can extend their brand far beyond the physical gate. For users, it means a free official VRChat world is already live and ready to visit now.
