Roppongi Hills is set to go into complete Doraemon mode again for its Summer Station 2024 festival. You’ll soon find plenty of photo opportunities featuring the beloved blue cat-robot around the shopping centre – mainly around the Roppongi Hills Roku Roku Plaza and at the adjacent TV Asahi building. This year, the Summer Station festival runs from Saturday July 20 to Sunday August 25.

You can’t miss the massive squad of Doraemon that's set to occupy Roppongi Hills Roku Roku Plaza. There will be many Doraemon in all sorts of poses. Take a walk around Roppongi Hills and you’ll find even more Doraemon statues scattered about.

There’s more to do than just posing for selfies with Doraemon. TV Asahi is offering a number of Doraemon-related activities for kids, including a Doraemon stamp rally and a free water play area called Doraemon Splash Square on the rooftop of the TV Asahi building.
