The second official collaboration between the hit anime and manga franchise The Prince of Tennis II (Shin Tennis no Ōjisama), Yokohama Cosmo World, and Yokohama Air Cabin has been officially announced, bringing fresh themed attractions and merchandise to Kanagawa Prefecture. Organizers confirmed the upcoming venture following the success of previous promotional tie-ins, though specific dates, ride designs, and event schedules remain under wraps as production gets underway.
Fans of the long-running tennis series can expect dedicated visual displays, themed gondola cabins on the Yokohama Air Cabin ropeway, and exclusive character merchandise across the Minato Mirai entertainment district. While official release windows have yet to be finalized, committee representatives advised supporters to monitor upcoming announcements for ticket tiers and operational hours.
What to Expect from the Yokohama Cosmo World and Air Cabin Collaboration
The partnership pairs characters from Takeshi Konomi’s tennis epic with two of Yokohama’s most recognizable modern landmarks. Yokohama Cosmo World, located in the Cosmo Clock 21 zone, typically features seasonal character rallies, themed food menus, and collectible novelty goods. Meanwhile, the Yokohama Air Cabin—Japan’s first urban circular-type cable car connecting JR Sakuragicho Station to Shinko Wharf—frequently utilizes cabin wraps and voice guide installations during major anime partnerships.

Organizers have not yet released the complete roster of participating characters from Seigaku, Hyotei, Rikkai, Shitenhoji, or the U-17 training camp. Past iterations across various Japanese amusement parks have historically spotlighted fan-favorite captains and prodigies through limited-edition acrylic stands, postcard rallies, and themed sweet treats.
Navigating the Minato Mirai Venue
Visitors planning trips to Yokohama for the upcoming event will find the locations centrally situated in Kanagawa’s primary waterfront district. Yokohama Air Cabin operates daily standard hours stretching from morning through late evening, offering aerial views of the Minato Mirai skyline over the Sakuragicho waterfront. Yokohama Cosmo World sits adjacent to the ropeway’s destination terminal, making dual-attraction itineraries straightforward for traveling fans.
International and domestic travelers can access the area via the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Minatomirai Line, or JR Keihin-Tohoku Negishi Line, exiting directly at Sakuragicho or Minatomirai stations. Local tourism boards recommend checking official transit apps and weather forecasts prior to arrival, as coastal winds occasionally prompt temporary pauses to ropeway operations.

No ticket sales dates, pricing tiers, or operating calendars have been published as of yet. Event planners encourage fans and prospective visitors to watch for subsequent press releases and updates through official portal channels regarding exact launch timelines.
