Chiikawa × Tokyo Banana Pop-Up Opens at Tokyo Solamachi (1–14 October 2026) — New Eco Bag and Sticker Sweets

Chiikawa meets Tokyo's classic souvenir brand for a short Skytree-side pop-up — and the first-ever collab eco bag is the headline for UK collectors.

According to a Grapestone press release via PR TIMES on 28 September 2026, covered the same day by Inside Games, a Chiikawa × Tokyo Banana pop-up shop will open at Tokyo Solamachi East Yard 1F, "Sora no Komachi" space 10, beside Tokyo Skytree. The run is Thursday 1 October to Wednesday 14 October 2026, daily 10:00–22:00 JST (02:00–14:00 BST). The second-wave goods include a first-appearance eco bag, a tote bag, and banana-milk sweets with sticker bonuses only in the larger boxes.

Otaku Daily currently does not open orders for placing these pop-up items. Sweets are perishable and venue stock can move quickly, so our quote path focuses on the non-food goods (eco bag and tote) if you want help sourcing after the open.

Where and when: Tokyo Solamachi for two weeks

Tokyo Solamachi is the shopping complex at Tokyo Skytree, and this pop-up sits on the East Yard first floor in the Sora no Komachi zone (space 10). Two weeks is a short window for a brand as popular as Chiikawa and Tokyo Banana together, so treat opening days as the busiest period rather than assuming stock will last until the 14th.

Grapestone warns that items may sell out early because of demand. That is a planning warning, not a confirmation that anything has already sold out — still, if you are in Tokyo for the first weekend of October, arrive with a short priority list rather than a long wishlist.

First appearance: the Chiikawa × Tokyo Banana eco bag

The star non-food piece is the Chiikawa × Tokyo Banana eco bag, making its first appearance as the second wave of collab goods. Original artwork puts Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi front and centre; the design is built so you still catch their eyes on the reverse and even when the bag is folded into its pouch. Longer handles are cut for shoulder carry, and the body is sized for a proper shop haul rather than a tiny souvenir pouch.

If you already own earlier Tokyo Banana collab packaging or stickers, the eco bag is the piece that turns the theme into daily use. It is also the cleanest UK quote target, because fabric goods travel and store more easily than chilled sweets.

Tote bag: sides that peek out of banana headgear

Also on sale is the Chiikawa × Tokyo Banana tote bag. Main panels show Chiikawa and friends on yellow banana-pattern fabric, while the side gussets feature the characters poking out of Tokyo Banana-style headgear. The brief also notes Kurimanju, Momonga and Rakko appearing on the art mix, so it is a wider cast bag than a simple main-trio print.

Between eco bag and tote, pick the eco bag if you want the new first-wave silhouette and fold-away pouch; pick the tote if you prefer structured handles and the side-panel banana-head designs.

Sweets: Cookie Sandwich and Banana Pudding Cake

Food fans get two lines:

• Chiikawa Cookie Sandwich (banana milk flavour) in 12-piece and 18-piece boxes
• Chiikawa Banana Pudding Cake in 4-piece and 8-piece boxes

Only the larger boxes — 18 cookies or 8 cakes — include one random original sticker of Chiikawa, Hachiware or Usagi. Smaller boxes are for eating; larger boxes are for eating plus a collectable. That distinction matters if you are deciding whether a sticker hunt is worth the bigger box while you are travelling.

Because these are perishable Tokyo souvenir sweets, Otaku Daily will not frame them as something we can stock like acrylics or bags. If your interest is the sticker or the packaging art, say so clearly when you enquire — but expect the practical quote conversation to centre on the eco bag and tote.

Getting a quote in the UK

Otaku Daily currently does not open orders for placing these pop-up items. Venue exclusives and early sell-through risk make a clean pre-list difficult, and sweets are not a stable ship category for us. If you would like a quote focused on the eco bag or tote, send a message via Contact Us after the pop-up opens and tell us which bag you want.

While you browse, explore our Chiikawa collection for other Chiikawa merch already on the shop, or the in-stock collection for pieces ready to ship sooner.

Who this pop-up is for

• Tokyo travellers free between 1 and 14 October who want a Chiikawa souvenir with real Tokyo Banana branding
• Bag collectors chasing the first-appearance eco bag or the side-panel tote
• Sticker hunters willing to buy the larger 18-cookie or 8-cake boxes only
• UK fans who prefer to ask Otaku Daily for a quote on non-food goods rather than navigate a short Japan pop-up alone

If you can only grab one thing, make it the eco bag — it is the first-appearance piece and the best everyday keep.
