Chiikawa movie collaboration café opens at Nagoya PARCO

PARCO inaugurated a themed collaboration café in Nagoya to celebrate the upcoming Chiikawa film "The Secret of Mermaid Island," which is slated for nationwide release on July 24, 2026. The Nagoya PARCO location opened on September 4, 2026 and will operate until November 16, 2026, offering a menu of 16 food, dessert, and drink items inspired by the movie’s island storyline. Reservations are required for dine‑in guests, while take‑out is available without booking. An adjoining merchandise shop sells original café items and selected film‑related goods, with purchase limits per customer.

At the same time, episode 358 of the Chiikawa TV anime was made available for a one‑week catch‑up streaming window, accompanied by a promotional tie‑in with the PARCO collaboration. Viewers received a limited‑edition Chiikawa charm mini‑figure as an entry‑bonus, and the episode featured a notable “shocking” climax that drew social‑media commentary. Both the café launch and the episode release form part of the broader marketing push for the Chiikawa movie.
