At the “Our National Treasues : 150 Years in the Future” held at the Tokyo National Museum in January 2023, dinosaurs from DINO-A-LIVE were recognized as candidates for future national treasures. Our representatives Kanemaru and Kozuka were appointed as official ambassadors of the Tokyo National Museum. This connection made this miraculous collaboration “Tokyo National Museum x DINO-A-LIVE” possible!

This event, “Grand Dinosaur Night Parade,” is a new night parade of dinosaurs inspired by this “Hyakki Yakou”

Therefore, in cases of severe weather conditions, including strong winds or rain, there is a possibility that the event may be canceled if it affects the operation of the dinosaurs. In the event of cancellation, full refunds will be provided for tickets. We appreciate your understanding and ask you to purchase tickets and participate with this in mind.
