Kingdom Hearts 25th Anniversary Exhibition Opens at Mori Arts Center Gallery in February 2027

The Kingdom Hearts series 25th anniversary exhibition, “KINGDOM HEARTS 25th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION,” will be held from Friday, February 5 to Sunday, April 4, 2027. The venue is Mori Arts Center Gallery on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower in Roppongi, Tokyo. It is organized by Sony Music Solutions, with cooperation from The Walt Disney Company (Japan) and Square Enix. Photo spots of famous scenes, displays of Keyblade replicas, an immersive theater and more are planned, and entry is timed on all days.

Why now? 25 years of the series, ahead of Kingdom Hearts IV

Kingdom Hearts is an RPG series created by Disney and Square Enix. It tells the story of Sora, a Keyblade wielder, who travels through Disney and Pixar worlds, with light, darkness and the heart as its themes (according to the organizer). The series marks its 25th anniversary in March 2027.

According to the organizer, the exhibition looks back on a quarter century from the first game through Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts III and numerous spin-offs. It is designed to build anticipation for Kingdom Hearts IV, scheduled for future release.

In Tokyo in the first half of 2027, an anniversary exhibition for another Square Enix series overlaps with it. The “Final Fantasy 40th Anniversary Exhibition” opens at the Hyokeikan of the Tokyo National Museum on Friday, January 8, and both anniversary exhibitions close on April 4.

What can visitors see? Photo spots, Keyblades and an immersive theater

The content listed on the official website is photo spots of famous scenes from the games, displays of Keyblade replicas, displays of materials, an immersive theater and sales of original exhibition merchandise. Some photo spots may change during the run. As of October 20, the chapter structure and number of exhibits had not been announced.

The key visual released in September shows characters symbolizing the series gathered around a keyhole. Photography is allowed in the venue except in no-photography areas, but video recording and the use of flash, selfie sticks, tripods and the like are prohibited.

Sales continue until 23:59 on Wednesday, December 2. Tickets left over from unpaid lottery and priority purchases are scheduled to be resold at 12:00 on Friday, October 23.

The included merchandise is a set of a ticket-style key visual card bearing a reproduction of the signature of series director Tetsuya Nomura and 12 character mini cards with a memorial holder. It is not sold separately or shipped later and is picked up at the venue on the day. Advance tickets are on sale from 12:00 on Thursday, December 3 to 23:59 on Thursday, February 4, 2027. Same-day tickets are sold only when an entry slot has space and close 30 minutes before entry begins.

Visitors receive one bonus item per ticket. The first (February 5–24) is a random key visual sticker (12 designs), and the contents of the second (February 25 – March 16) and third (March 17 – April 4) will be announced later.

Opening hours and notes at the venue

Opening hours are 11:00–21:00 on weekdays (last entry 20:00) and 10:00–20:00 on weekends and holidays (last entry 19:00). On the opening day, Friday, February 5, weekend and holiday entry times and prices apply. As of October 20, the exhibition overview on the official website lists no closing days.

Tickets bought in advance are electronic and are exchanged for admission tickets at the ticket counter on the 3rd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower on the day. There are no toilets inside the exhibition, and visitors cannot re-enter once they leave the exhibition area. The official shop is at the end of the venue and can be used only by ticket holders.

Editor’s perspective

Tickets with merchandise go on sale first, and regular advance tickets start on December 3. Since tickets with merchandise are bought before details of the exhibition are released, buyers will be choosing based on their contents—a set of cards—and the condition of picking them up on the day. Other exhibitions in 2027 are summarized in our 2027 exhibition schedule.
