Investigative Exhibition "The Country Not on Any Map: Kingdom of Panja" Coming to PARCO_ya Ueno

[Ueno] Investigative Exhibition "The Country Not on Any Map: Kingdom of Panja" Announced! At PARCO_ya Ueno

Overview

PARCO Co., Ltd. has announced that it will hold "The Country Not on Any Map: Kingdom of Panja," an investigative exhibition themed around a fictional country, at PARCO_ya Ueno.

The exhibition centers on the "Kingdom of Panja," an imaginary nation that exists on no map. Its defining feature is the "investigative exhibition" format, in which visitors solve puzzles and conduct their own investigations as they explore. Rather than simply viewing exhibits, visitors actively gather information to decode the world of the work—a style of experiential content that has drawn growing attention in recent years. As an exhibition organized by PARCO, it is expected to create fresh buzz in the Ueno area.

The venue, PARCO_ya Ueno, is a shopping complex in the Ueno area known for its fashion, lifestyle goods and restaurants. Hosting a cultural, hands-on exhibition like this one gives people a new reason to visit beyond shopping and dining.

Built around the concept of a fictional kingdom, the investigative exhibition may appeal not only to families and groups of friends but also to solo visitors who want to take their time working through the puzzles. Further official information on the exhibition content and how to participate is still awaited.

Details such as dates, admission fees and access have not yet been announced. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
