(Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO/Producer: Taiga Kobayashi) will introduce a new seated VR attraction where visitors can 'experience overwhelming extraordinary feelings without taking a single step' at its directly managed store 'XR Center Game Space Fukuoka' (inside Canal City Hakata) starting Friday, April 17, 2026.
Until now, VR has been associated with 'walking around,' 'sweating,' and 'intense action.' However, what we are introducing this time is a 'cinema-experience VR' where you sit deeply in a dedicated chair and immerse yourself in supreme visual beauty and storytelling.
Whether taking a break when tired from shopping or looking for a date course on a rainy day, it provides a completely new entertainment experience where you can rest your body while your mind trips to 'a world of monsters,' 'mystical tarot,' or 'a fantastic seabed.'
## Relax and Enjoy: VR Experience for Adults
While active VR (free-roam type) where you walk around and fight with friends is gaining popularity, we have received many requests from people who want to experience VR 'more casually' or 'even if they are not good at games.'
All three contents introduced this time can be experienced 'while seated.'
- No physical stamina required, no sweating
Perfect for a body tired from walking while shopping. There is no need to worry about ruining your makeup or hairstyle.
- No gaming skills required
There are no complicated controls; the story progresses as if you have become the protagonist of a movie.
- Enjoy without worrying about surroundings
There is no need to shout or run around. Up to 2 people (a pair) can relax and share a private, moving experience.
