Kemono Cross (ケモノクロス)

Kemono Cross (ケモノクロス) is a one-day fursuit meet at Starts Otakanomori Hall, next to Nagareyama-otakanomori Station in Nagareyama, Chiba. The organizer, Kemono Cross X, has held editions in May and December since May 2025 and lists 175, 204 and 209 people for its first three editions.

Kemono Cross 4 is on Wednesday, December 30, 2026, from 09:00 to 17:00, with the theme 年末ケモノ神社現るリターンズ (the year-end kemono shrine returns). The organizer plans 250 places.

What to Expect

Reception opens at 09:00, and the morning is free time for fursuiters and attendees to meet. A kemono snapshot session follows at 11:00, the opening ceremony and stage programme start at 13:00, and the group photo and a balloon game are at 14:30. The closing ceremony is at 16:10, and the hall must be clear by 17:00.

The organizer recommends the hall's glass-walled foyer and grand staircase for photos. There are rotating changing rooms behind the hall, a large rehearsal room as the main changing room, and a separate women's changing room. Showers are available if you bring your own towel and shampoo. The organizer sells event merchandise and runs a gacha of small kemono photos, and it is adding circle spaces for people who want to sell kemono goods. Characters must be kemono with a head, realistic replica weapons are banned, and photos are not allowed in changing rooms or corridors.

How to Get Tickets

Register on the Kemono Cross 4 TwiPla listing. Everyone pays 3,000 yen in cash at reception, suited or not, and card payment may be added. Only people registered on TwiPla can attend; there is no same-day entry without registration. The organizer announces registration openings on X.

How to Get There

Starts Otakanomori Hall is a one-minute walk from the north exit of Nagareyama-otakanomori Station, served by the Tsukuba Express and the Tobu Urban Park Line. Reception is on the first floor. The hall's car park has no daily cap, so the organizer suggests nearby pay car parks with a daily maximum, and names the COTOE Nagareyama Otakanomori car park as a five-minute walk. For a stay the night before, the organizer suggests the hotel next to the hall, where staff also stay.
