About this event
On December 5, 2026, the authentic cosplay event "#Cosplay Harmony 2026" will be held at Sanrio Character Park Harmonyland in Hiji Town, Oita Prefecture. This is a one-day-only event where cosplayers and photographers can fully enjoy photo shoots set in a park that blends the world of Sanrio characters with lush nature. This year, the scale has expanded, recruiting a total of 450 participants: 390 cosplayers and 60 photographers. After regular operating hours, an exclusive private park session will be held for participants, allowing photography across different lighting and atmospheres—from bright daytime scenery to night illuminations. During private park hours, photo equipment typically restricted during regular operations, such as tripods and strobe flashes, is permitted. The park features diverse locations including Harmony Village with its European-style cityscape, attractions such as Kitty Castle and White Birds Square, and natural areas like the "Bamboo Path" suitable for Japanese and Asian-themed shoots, catering to the aesthetic of each costume. In addition, the "Character Greeting Fan Studio" allows participants in cosplay to greet and take photos with Sanrio characters. Dedicated cloakrooms for large costumes and props, as well as changing rooms, are provided to ensure a comfortable environment for shooting. Three ticket pricing tiers are available based on admission time. Online ticket sales begin on eplus starting at 10:00 on October 8.
