New Ufotable Art and a Five-Senses Experience
The event's full Japanese title is Anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba" Tsuioku Kairō no Shirube (追憶回廊ノ導), roughly "Memory Corridor Guide." Oricon News reported that the experience is built around reliving the anime series through all five senses, with scene-based exhibits, mini-games offering original prizes, photo spots, and a themed cafe.
The visual centerpiece is a set of original illustrations drawn by ufotable (Demon Slayer, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works) under a "memories" theme. Five characters appear in the key art: Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Giyu. Fans will notice Nezuko is drawn without her bamboo mouthpiece — her post-sun-conquest design — and Giyu wears an uncharacteristic gentle smile.
Admission is free at all four venues, though the Tokyo opening stretch (June 12–15) will use a pre-booking system to manage expected crowds. Specific entry details are expected by late May.
Rengoku Hot Dogs, Thunder Breathing Parfaits, and More
The cafe menu leans hard into in-universe references. Highlights include:
- "Set Your Heart Ablaze" Japanese-Style Hot Dog (心を燃やせ 和風ホットドッグ) — named after the late Flame Hashira Rengoku's famous final words
- Thunder Breathing Parfait (雷の呼吸パフェ) — a nod to Zenitsu's signature fighting style
- Buff Mice Ice Float (ムキムキねずみアイスフロート) — inspired by the muscular mice from the Swordsmith Village arc
- "Hashira Assembled" Chocolate Waffle Plate — exactly what it sounds like
- Tanjiro's Grilled Salmon Onigiri Ochazuke — referencing the Kamado family's humble roots
The full lineup runs to 13 items, including a "Supreme Territory" chilled soba, a "Connected Blades" maritozzo-style dessert plate, Fireworks Cream Soda, and Fortune Lattes. Every food purchase comes with a random illustration sheet (five designs).
On the merch side, the lineup spans collectible pin badges and clear cards (10 types each), foil-pressed acrylic stands (25 types), puzzle-piece charms (12 types), and clear bottles. Priced items include a memorial T-shirt (¥4,300, approx. $29), sticker sets (¥1,260), cookies with a bonus sticker (¥1,500, venue-only), and venue-specific memorial keychains (¥1,200). Select goods will also be available through Premium Bandai's online store for fans who can't make it in person.
Looking Ahead
The four-city touring schedule spans nearly a full year:
- Tokyo — Bandai Namco Cross Store, Sunshine City Ikebukuro: June 12 – July 26, 2026
- Osaka — HEP FIVE 8F: August 7 – September 27, 2026
- Fukuoka — Canal City Hakata South B1F: October 30, 2026 – January 11, 2027
- Yokohama — World Porters 2F: March 19 – May 9, 2027
The timing fits into a broader Demon Slayer push. The Infinity Castle Chapter 1 film hit theaters in July 2025, its Blu-ray arrived this year, and the full TV anime is currently being rebroadcast on Fuji Television. An official release date for Infinity Castle Chapter 2 has not been announced.
For international fans, the entire Demon Slayer anime streams on Crunchyroll, and the completed manga is available in English from Viz Media. No international dates for the Memory Corridor event have been announced — but anyone planning a Japan trip between June 2026 and May 2027 can walk in for free.
