Goddess of Victory: NIKKE returns to Kyoto for a second collaboration with JR Central’s Oshi Tabi tourism campaign. Read on to learn more about the announcement and event details.
NIKKE in Kyoto 2nd Collaboration Starts September 11
Exclusive Content and New Campaign Kicking Off
NIKKE in Kyoto (2026) is an upcoming promotional collaboration with Central Japan Railway's Oshi Tabi tourism program, focused on Kyoto's history and scenery. The Oshi Tabi event begins on September 11, 2026, until November 10, giving fans an early start to experience the collaboration while traveling to Kyoto before the event's full launch on September 15. The announcement comes with a new short animated PV and original theme song to open the campaign, following NIKKE's cast as they explore the city.
Riders who board the Tokaido Shinkansen during the campaign period can access exclusive voice content from eight NIKKE characters, namely Anis: Star, Arcana, Sakura, Sin, Nayuta, Velvet, Modernia, and Liberalio, through the campaign site, with lines playing depending on whether the train is heading to or leaving Kyoto. Unlocking content requires enabling location tracking so the site can confirm the train's speed and destination, meaning it may not work in slower sections, cited to be between Tokyo and Shin-Yokohama. Additionally, listening to the content also earns fans a code for a free original photo card, redeemable at Seven-Eleven copiers across Japan, from 9 available designs.
Tapestry Giveaway, Stamp Rally, and More
To celebrate the collaboration, Level Infinite is also running a giveaway for 20 original tapestries. Fans need to follow both NIKKE's official Japanese X (Twitter) account and JR Central's Oshi Tabi account, then post about the event using the hashtag #NIKKEJR東海. The giveaway is available from September 11 to November 10, 2026, with winners selected by lottery. A separate set of merchandise for the collaboration is also on the way, with products to be launched in the Mega Nikke Store Kyoto.
Once the campaign launches on September 15, it will also include a mystery-solving stamp rally that leads participants to various collaboration locations around Kyoto. This activity is meant to bring participants around the city, in the areas featured on the special PV. The Oshi Tabi tourism program is known to partner with anime, idol, and sports properties to build travel campaigns for the Tokaido Shinkansen and locations along its route, which has run around 150 such collaborations and counting since launching in 2021.
