Haikyu!!'s pop-up store returns to tour all 47 prefectures
The anime's travelling pop-up store starts its second lap at Aeon Mall Kawaguchi Maekawa on 24 October 2026, opening a run that will visit all 47 prefectures.
Haikyu!! is going back on the road. The anime's website said on 29 September that the nationwide touring pop-up store is returning for a second lap, beginning at Aeon Mall Kawaguchi Maekawa in Saitama on 24 October 2026 and moving through all 47 prefectures in turn.
The first lap ran under the banner 「駆け巡れ!!全国遠征ポップアップストア」, and the second keeps the same touring format. Merchandise for the new run is built around newly drawn illustrations rather than reprints of older promotional art, alongside a wider spread of Haikyu!! items.
Where the second lap opens
Saitama's Aeon Mall Kawaguchi Maekawa hosts the first stop from 24 October to 8 November 2026, using Saiho Hall on the second floor. Iwate follows at Aeon Mall Morioka's first-floor Ihatov Hiroba from 12 to 29 November, then Gifu at Aeon Mall Kakamigahara Inter, in front of ABC Mart on the third floor, from 4 to 20 December.
The fourth confirmed stop is Wakayama, in Aeon Hall on the third floor of Aeon Mall Wakayama, from 24 December 2026 to 11 January 2027. Opening hours at every venue run from 10:00 to 19:00, with the final day of each stop closing an hour early at 18:00.
What is on the shelves
The range is led by artwork produced for the tour, which is the pattern for this kind of travelling store in Japan: an illustration that exists only for the run, printed across the usual spread of acrylic stands, badges, towels and clear files. The organisers warn that venues and dates can change without notice and say the tour's X account, @haikyu_ensei2, will carry updates as each stop approaches.
Our opinion
The manga finished years ago, and the theatrical film 「ゴミ捨て場の決戦」 carried the series in cinemas. Sending a second commercial lap around 47 prefectures is a merchandising decision, and it reads as a practical one: Haikyu!!'s audience is still dense enough to justify the logistics of moving display cases into shopping centres from Kawaguchi to Wakayama. Nobody repeats a tour that was merely fine the first time, and the itinerary here is long enough to be a statement.
