Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy announce first joint holiday event in Yokohama
Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy will share a Yokohama winter event with themed displays, a café, a pop-up shop and a stamp rally.
Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are joining forces for a winter event in Yokohama, with Square Enix-backed attractions, a themed café, a pop-up shop and a stamp rally running from 11 November 2026 to 11 January 2027.1
A first crossover for two RPG giants
The event, titled Yokohama Minato Mirai Winter Holiday 2026: Dragon Quest × Final Fantasy Winter Fantasy in English, brings Dragon Quest (ドラゴンクエスト) and Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー) together across Yokohama Landmark Tower, MARK IS Minato Mirai and nearby parts of the Minato Mirai district.1 The organisers describe it as the first collaboration between the two series for this event.
The campaign is being organised by Mitsubishi Estate and operated by Mitsubishi Estate Property Management, with cooperation from Square Enix. It will run from 11 November 2026 through 11 January 2027.1
What fans can expect
A special holiday tree will be installed at Landmark Plaza, while MARK IS Minato Mirai will host a large Slime and Chocobo holiday display. The campaign will also add character statues and photo spots around the venues.1
A limited-time collaboration café called Slachoco Kitchen will serve menus inspired by both series at Cafe Fan Base. MARK IS will also host a Square Enix pop-up shop selling event artwork and related Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy merchandise.1
The organisers additionally plan a stamp rally across the two facilities, with rewards for visitors who complete three or all six stops. The detailed schedule and availability may change, so visitors should check the official event information before travelling.1
Our opinion
This is a smart use of the two RPG series' shared cultural weight: it gives fans a reason to visit a real place rather than simply announcing another digital collaboration. The strongest hook is the range of physical experiences — from the Slime and Chocobo display to the café and stamp rally — although the campaign's appeal will depend on how much of the merchandise and food feels genuinely exclusive rather than merely branded.
For UK readers, the important takeaway is that this is a Japan-based event in Yokohama, not a global in-game crossover. If you're travelling to the area this winter, it looks like a substantial fan stop; otherwise, the official artwork and venue announcements are the main things to watch for further details.
