First Time in Kyushu! "Harry & Marie" are Coming to Hakata Station! Collaboration 1st Anniversary Event Decided!

Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) will celebrate the 1st anniversary of its collaboration with "Harry & Marie" in March 2026 by holding the first-ever "Harry & Marie Pop-up Event" in Kyushu for two days, April 4th and 5th, 2026, at the event space in front of the central ticket gate at Hakata Station.

This special event allows you to fully enjoy "Harry & Marie" with an exhibition of tapestries from the collaboration illustrations, specially drawn over the past year by author Masayuki Etou from Fukuoka Prefecture, a workshop to create character patches from "Harry & Marie", and sales of various original goods with a gentle worldview. Since the start of the collaboration, we have mainly focused on digital content, but this will be a valuable opportunity to experience it in person, so please come and visit.
