It will be held from Saturday, June 6, 2026, to Sunday, June 28, 2026, at Sapporo Factory 3-jo Building 3F.
The portable digital pet "Tamagotchi," released by Bandai in 1996, became a huge boom, especially among high school girls at the time, creating a social phenomenon both domestically and internationally.

Cumulative shipments exceeded 100 million units worldwide by July 31, 2025.
This exhibition is a commemorative event held to celebrate Tamagotchi's 30th anniversary.
Beyond looking back at 30 years, it delves into the charm of the quirky and adorable creature "Tamagotchi" through an immersive experience, as if you've entered inside a Tamagotchi.
