Final Fantasy X 25th Anniversary: Tokyo Museum and Japan Cafés

Celebrate 25 Years of FINAL FANTASY X in Japan

Fans of FINAL FANTASY X have plenty to look forward to this September as the beloved Square Enix RPG celebrates its 25th anniversary with two special events.

From September 12 to 27, 2026, FINAL FANTASY X MUSEUM - Memories of Pyreflies - will take over LUMINE 0 at NEWoMan Shinjuku in Tokyo.

The exhibition recreates memorable locations and scenes from the game, including Zanarkand and Macalania Woods, while also displaying previously unreleased development materials and anniversary merchandise.

The celebrations extend beyond the museum. From September 11 to December 2, the FINAL FANTASY X 25TH ANNIVERSARY CAFE will offer themed food and drinks in Shinjuku, Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya.

Here are some of the highlights!

Revisit Zanarkand at the FINAL FANTASY X Museum

One of the exhibition's major highlights is a recreation of Zanarkand, the final destination of a summoner's pilgrimage.

The immersive display brings one of FINAL FANTASY X's most memorable scenes to life with detailed recreations of iconic items, including Tidus' Brotherhood sword embedded in the ground and Yuna's staff.

The experience is accompanied by the famous music To Zanarkand, allowing fans to revisit the atmosphere and emotions surrounding the characters' journey.

Step Into Macalania Woods

Another memorable location from the game, Macalania Woods, is recreated in beautiful blue light.

The installation focuses on the emotional journey of Tidus and Yuna, giving visitors the chance to experience one of the game's best-known scenes in a new way.

See Previously Unreleased FINAL FANTASY X Materials

Fans can also get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of FINAL FANTASY X through a collection of previously unreleased development and setting materials.

The displays offer insight into the ideas and creative process that shaped the game's characters and world.

Visitors who purchase admission will also receive one random Temple Card from a collection of eight designs. The cards are available in limited quantities.

Special merchandise created for the anniversary will also be sold at the museum.
