Although the mega-hit Netflix series Stranger Things is drawing to an end, if you’re in Tokyo, you have a chance to head back to Hawkings, Indiana, one more time at VA | STRANGER THINGS HOUSE, a themed pop-up in Shibuya for a limited time.
Released in 2016, the sci-fi series follows a group of pre-teens in a small town fighting otherworldly creatures and entering different dimensions to rescue themselves and each other. To mark the series finale, the pop-up store in Shibuya will run until Dec. 28.
The VA | STRANGER THINGS HOUSE offers photo ops in recreated sets, a merch shop and cafés for some exclusive themed items.
Take pics inside Will’s house at the Byers’ House photo spot. Pick up exclusive pop-up merchandise, including brand collaborations from Palladium, Converse and more. And before you leave The Upside Down, grab a slice at Surfer Boy Pizza, a Demogorgon drink at the Stranger Things Café, and a tasty ice cream treat from Blue Seal Ice Cream at Scoops Ahoy.
Volume 1 of the final chapter is on Netflix now, Volume 2 is slated for release on Dec. 25, and the final episode will air on Dec. 31.
Admission to this fun pop-up is free and the merch and food items range in prices. Mark the end of a celebrated era with Demogorgon, Vecna, Eleven and the gang in Shibuya before it’s times up!
