Roppongi Hills has gone into complete Doraemon mode again for its Summer Station 2025 festival. You’ll 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 until Sunday August 17.

You can’t miss the massive squad of Doraemon that's currently occupying Roppongi Hills Roku Roku Plaza. Here, you'll find many Doraemon in all sorts of silly poses. Take a walk around Roppongi Hills and you’ll find even more Doraemon statues scattered about.

Be sure to visit TV Asahi, where the lobby features even more Doraemon figures – including a rare yellow Doraemon, which shows what the beloved character looked like before he turned blue

There’s also a fun photo spot where you can sit in a director’s chair, along with Doraemon statues and framed photos from the upcoming ‘Doraemon Birthday Special', set to be released on September 6, just after Doraemon’s birthday on September 3. Don't forget to stop by TV Asahi's Summer Fes Garden Cafe where you can enjoy Doraemon-themed treats like a cute burger, fun pizza and a refreshing blue parfait.
