by A special Re: Zero collaboration event is coming to Laguna Ten Bosch in Japan from November 7, 2026, to January 11, 2027. Fans can enjoy exclusive merchandise, a character-themed stamp-style rally, collaboration food, a special hotel room, and a December 27 talk show featuring Yusuke Kobayashi and Rie Takahashi.
Fans of Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World will soon have the opportunity to step into a setting inspired by one of the anime’s most memorable locations. Laguna Ten Bosch, a resort and theme park complex in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, is hosting a special collaboration event celebrating the anime’s 10th anniversary.
Titled “Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World × Laguna Ten Bosch: Welcome to the Sparkling Water Gate City!”, the event will run from November 7, 2026, through January 11, 2027. It will transform parts of the Lagunasia theme park with character-themed experiences and exclusive items inspired by the world of R: Zero.
The collaboration takes inspiration from Priestella, also known as the Water Gate City, which plays an important role in the anime’s third season. Because the scenery of Lagunasia resembles the canals and waterfront atmosphere of Priestella, the location provides a fitting backdrop for the event.
Subaru Natsuki, Emilia, and Rem feature in newly illustrated promotional artwork, while a collection of newly drawn mini-character illustrations featuring 10 characters will be used across event merchandise and activities.
One of the main highlights will take place on December 27, when Yusuke Kobayashi, the Japanese voice actor for Subaru, and Rie Takahashi, who voices Emilia, appear on a special talk show. Visitors can also take part in a park-wide rally, listen to exclusive character voice recordings, purchase limited-edition merchandise, and enjoy themed food and drinks.
The event is designed to give visitors the feeling of exploring Priestella while enjoying the winter scenery around Lagunasia. The combination of waterfront views, illuminated surroundings, and anime-themed decorations is intended to bring the atmosphere of the fictional city into a real-world setting.
Fans planning a visit should keep the scheduled park closures in mind and check the official event website before travelling, as operating details may change.
Why Is the Event Inspired by Priestella?
Priestella, the Water Gate City, is an important location in the third season of Re: Zero. Its canals, waterways, and distinctive urban scenery give it a different atmosphere from many of the fantasy locations featured in the series.
The Laguna Ten Bosch collaboration was planned because the scenery of Lagunasia resembles the fictional city. The venue’s waterfront setting makes it suitable for a themed experience that allows fans to imagine themselves visiting Priestella.
Rather than simply displaying character merchandise, the event combines the park’s environment with activities inspired by the anime. Visitors will be able to explore different areas, search for a missing magical crystal, listen to special character voices, and discover exclusive goods along the way.
This approach gives the collaboration a more interactive feel. Fans can enjoy the atmosphere of the location while taking part in activities that connect them with the story and characters.
Subaru, Emilia, and Rem Appear in New Illustrations
The collaboration features newly illustrated artwork of Subaru Natsuki, Emilia, and Rem. These illustrations will be used in promotional materials and selected event merchandise.
In addition, the project includes newly drawn mini-character illustrations featuring a total of 10 characters. These smaller designs will appear on items such as clear cards and other collectibles.
For collectors, the use of exclusive artwork makes the event especially appealing. Some merchandise is available in multiple designs, while certain items are sold randomly, giving fans an opportunity to collect different characters.
The collaboration also connects with the TV anime’s 10th anniversary in 2026, making it a celebration of the series as well as a limited-time theme park event.
Special Talk Show on December 27
One of the event’s main attractions will be a special talk show featuring two of the anime’s leading voice actors.
- Yusuke Kobayashi — voice of Subaru Natsuki
- Rie Takahashi — voice of Emilia
The talk show is scheduled for Sunday, December 27, 2026. It will allow fans to celebrate the series with the performers behind two of its central characters.
The organizers have confirmed the date and guests, but further information about the program, admission arrangements, and participation requirements has not yet been announced. Fans should check the official event website for updates before making plans specifically for the talk show.
The appearance is a notable part of the collaboration because Subaru and Emilia are central to the story’s emotional journey. Their relationship and shared experiences have been important elements of the anime since its first season.
Search for the Missing Azure Crystal
An interactive rally around the park
Another major attraction is the park-wide rally, officially titled Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World: The Lagunasia Chronicle — Recover the Azure Crystal!
In this activity, participants search for the missing magical crystal known as the Azure Crystal by following clues and messages from characters located around Lagunasia.
The rally encourages visitors to explore the park rather than remain in one area. As they follow the clues, participants can experience different locations while working toward the final destination.
At the finish line, visitors can listen to original voice recordings featuring Subaru and Emilia. Participants will also receive one clear card featuring a newly drawn mini-character illustration.
There are 10 possible clear-card designs, and the card is distributed at random. Visitors therefore cannot select a particular design when receiving the participation reward.
Rally participation details
- Participation fee: ¥800 per session, including tax
- Registration location: Grandship Souvenir inside Lagunasia
- Registration hours: From park opening until 4:00 p.m.

The rally is a good option for visitors who want an activity beyond browsing merchandise. It combines a simple treasure-hunt format with character voices and exclusive collectible rewards.
Collaboration Tickets: Admission and Exclusive Novelty Included
A limited number of event collaboration tickets will be available for purchase. These tickets combine admission to Lagunasia with a rally participation ticket and an exclusive novelty item.

The collaboration ticket is separate from ordinary park admission arrangements, so visitors should review the included benefits and conditions before purchasing.
Re: Zero Collaboration Room at Henn na Hotel Laguna Ten Bosch
Fans who want to extend the experience beyond a day trip can book a special collaboration room at Henn na Hotel Laguna Ten Bosch, located next to the theme park.
The room will feature Re: Zero-themed decorations and exclusive guest benefits. The hotel package is designed to make the collaboration part of the stay, not just the visit to the park.
What do guests receive?
The announced accommodation benefits include:
- One-day admission to Lagunasia
- A rally participation ticket
- The limited clear pouch with carabiner
- A room-key-style keychain
- A BIG sticker
- Exclusive, newly recorded welcome voice messages from Subaru and Emilia
The special welcome recordings are intended for guests staying in the collaboration room and are not part of the ordinary park-wide rally.
The room is an appealing option for fans who want to experience the event at a more relaxed pace. It may also be useful for visitors travelling from outside Aichi Prefecture who would prefer to stay near the park.
Booking and stay dates
- Booking period: Available for reservations through January 11, 2027, subject to availability
- Stay period: Check-in from November 6, 2026, through check-out on January 12, 2027
- Hotel: Henn na Hotel Laguna Ten Bosch
Room rates and availability depend on the selected dates and booking conditions. Interested guests should consult the official accommodation page before making travel arrangements.
Re: Zero-Themed Food and Drinks
The collaboration will also introduce special menu items inspired by the anime’s characters.
These menus will be offered at restaurants and food-cart locations throughout the park. The organizers have confirmed the food collaboration, but the specific dishes, drinks, prices, and participating outlets are to be announced later through the official event website and social media accounts.
Character-themed food is a popular feature of anime collaborations because it gives visitors another way to engage with the series. The menus may also provide an opportunity to take themed photographs and enjoy a break between activities.
However, visitors should wait for the official menu announcement before assuming which characters or dishes will be available.
What Is R e: Zero − Starting Life in Another World About?
Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World is a fantasy series based on the light novels written by Tappei Nagatsuki, with illustrations by Shinichirou Otsuka.
The story follows Subaru Natsuki, an ordinary boy who is suddenly transported to another world while returning home from a convenience store. In this unfamiliar environment, he discovers that he has a mysterious ability known as Return by Death.
This power allows Subaru to return to an earlier point in time after dying, although he must endure the pain and emotional consequences of each death. He uses this ability to protect the people he cares about and to search for ways to overcome seemingly impossible situations.
Emilia, Rem, and the other characters become important parts of his journey. The series combines fantasy adventure with suspense, emotional drama, mystery, and the consequences of repeatedly trying to change a tragic outcome.
The anime’s first season aired in 2016, and the franchise has since expanded through additional seasons and related projects. The 2026 collaboration celebrates the television anime’s 10th anniversary and brings its characters into a real-world setting.
Re:Zero Season 4 and the Anime’s 10th Anniversary
The collaboration arrives during a major year for the franchise. In 2026, the television anime celebrates its 10th anniversary, and its fourth season has also aired in two parts.
The fourth season’s Loss Arc began on April 8, 2026, with 11 episodes, followed by the Recapture Arc, which began on August 12 with eight episodes. The season contains 19 episodes in total.
These milestones have helped keep the series in the spotlight throughout the year. The Laguna Ten Bosch collaboration adds a different kind of celebration by giving fans an opportunity to interact with the world of the anime outside the screen.
Rather than being a new anime announcement, this is a limited-time in-person event built around the established series. Its appeal lies in the combination of exclusive artwork, themed activities, voice recordings, merchandise, food, and a special appearance by two members of the Japanese voice cast.
Tips for Fans Planning to Visit
Visitors considering a trip to the event should keep a few practical points in mind:
- Check the event calendar. The collaboration runs until January 11, 2027, but it will not operate on January 6 and 7 because the park is scheduled to close.

- Allow enough time for the activity. Rally registration ends at 4:00 p.m., and finish-line reception closes 30 minutes before the park closes.
