The internet's favourite tiny creatures are taking over Tsim Sha Tsui. Chiikawa Artiverse is the biggest Chiikawa event Hong Kong has seen, running all summer at K11 MUSEA with four immersive zones, more than 130 original character sketches and the world's first Chiikawa carousel. If you have watched the pastel-coloured antics of Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi and wanted to step inside their world, this is your chance — and the whole city, right down to the MTR, has gone Chiikawa-mad.

What is Chiikawa Artiverse?
Chiikawa (ちいかわ) is a wildly popular Japanese character series by the artist Nagano, following a cast of small, soft, anxious-but-endearing creatures — Chiikawa, the cat-like Hachiware and the manic rabbit Usagi — through tiny daily dramas that have won millions of fans across Asia. Chiikawa Artiverse is a large-scale official exhibition produced by Hong Kong creative studio AllRightsReserved, the team behind the city's headline-grabbing art toys and pop-culture shows.
The idea is simple: turn the flat, gentle world of the manga into something you can walk through. Across four themed zones you move from sketch-lined gallery walls to room-sized installations, all designed to be photographed. It sits somewhere between an art show and a theme-park lobby, and it is aimed squarely at fans who want to feel like they have wandered into the strip itself.
Dates, venue and how to get there
The exhibition takes over a large event space at K11 MUSEA, the art-and-retail complex on the Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront. Here are the essentials.
Chiikawa Artiverse at K11 MUSEA
K11 MUSEA sits right on the water at Victoria Dockside, a short walk from both East Tsim Sha Tsui and Tsim Sha Tsui stations through the pedestrian subways. It is one of the easiest big venues in Kowloon to reach, and you can pair the exhibition with the harbour promenade, the Avenue of Stars and the Star Ferry pier next door. Check the official Klook listing for the day's opening hours before you travel, as times can shift on busy weekends.
How do I get tickets to Chiikawa Artiverse?
Tickets are sold through Klook, which ran a priority sale from 11 June 2026 ahead of the general release. Advance packages have been the smart buy: as well as timed entry, they bundle first dibs on global-debut merchandise, interactive gadgets used inside the show, and — the hot ticket — a reserved seat for a spin on the Chiikawa-Go-Round.
A few pointers. Weekend and public-holiday slots sell out first, so a weekday morning is the calmest visit. Buy from the official Klook page rather than resellers, keep your QR code handy, and if you want the carousel or limited merchandise, choose the package that includes them rather than a basic entry ticket. Prices vary by package and change without notice, so confirm on Klook at the time of booking.
What to see inside
The show is built around four immersive zones, and the layout rewards slow wandering. Highlights to look out for:
- 130-plus original sketches. Gallery walls trace Nagano's line work and the everyday storylines that made the characters famous — the closest thing to seeing the manga in the flesh.
- Interactive music setups. Hands-on rooms where sound and animation respond as you move, a favourite with younger visitors.
- Larger-than-life installations. Room-sized, three-dimensional builds designed for photos, scaling the tiny characters up to human height and beyond.
- The Chiikawa-Go-Round. Billed as the world's first Chiikawa-themed carousel, and the single most photographed thing in the building. Seats are limited, so reserve through your ticket package.
Budget at least an hour, more if you plan to queue for the carousel and the merchandise counter. Bring a power bank — you will be filming.
The Chiikawa MTR summer campaign
The takeover is not confined to K11 MUSEA. The MTR has teamed up again with AllRightsReserved on a citywide Chiikawa summer campaign, and it is worth building into your day out.
A Chiikawa-themed Light Rail train runs in the northwest New Territories on weekends from 25 July to 30 August 2026, with four trips a day from Siu Hong to Tuen Mun or Yuen Long. Themed station decorations rolled out from 17 July, starting with Admiralty and Lok Ma Chau, with more selected stations following through the summer. Schedules can change, so check the MTR's own channels for the latest before making a special trip for the train.
