Miyazaki’s Beloved Exeggutor Returns to Shinjuku for a Tropical Pokémon Extravaganza
Get Ready for “Nassy Resort in Shinjuku Miyazaki-kan KONNE,” Featuring Exclusive Goods, Character Greetings, and a Chance to Win Miyazaki Delights!
Miyazaki Prefecture is once again bringing a vibrant slice of its tropical charm to the heart of Tokyo with the highly anticipated “Nassy Resort in Shinjuku Miyazaki-kan KONNE” event. Set to delight Pokémon fans and Miyazaki enthusiasts alike, this special collaboration will transform the prefecture’s antenna shop into a lively resort experience on February 7th (Saturday) and 8th (Sunday), 2026.
This marks the fourth consecutive year for the event, which has consistently drawn large crowds, eager to engage with “Miyazaki’s Beloved Pokémon,” Exeggutor (known as Nassy in Japan). The initiative is a key part of the broader “Nassy Resort in Miyazaki” campaign, celebrating the deep connection between the tall, palm-like Pokémon and Miyazaki Prefecture, often affectionately called “Japan’s Hinata” (sunny spot) due to its warm climate and abundant phoenix palms—the prefecture’s official tree.
Event Highlights: A Glimpse into the Nassy Resort
The Shinjuku Miyazaki-kan KONNE, located at Shinjuku Southern Terrace, 2-2-1 Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, will be brimming with Exeggutor-themed activities and exclusive offerings.

The Future of Kawaii Culture: Bridging Regions with Beloved Characters
This recurring event is a vibrant testament to the enduring appeal of Pokémon and the innovative ways Japanese prefectures leverage popular characters for regional promotion.

It’s a joyful example of how kawaii culture continues to evolve, creating interactive experiences that transcend geographical boundaries and invite global audiences to explore Japan’s diverse prefectures.
