Misono-kai (みその会)

Misono-kai (みその会) is a fursuit stroll and photo meet in Hanashima Park in Hanamigawa, Chiba. Its organizer, みそしる！ (Misoshiru), is a photographer and fursuiter, and the day centres on fursuit owners exploring the park with attendants who take their photos.

Misono-kai 9 is on Sunday, November 22, 2026. There are 40 places, and the organizer adds more by adjusting rooms if it fills up.

What to Expect

Arrive from 09:30 and register in Training Room 2 of Hanashima Community Center, where you get a park map and a name tag. After registration, fursuiters change and the group spreads out around the park. Each fursuiter goes outside with an attendant, one attendant for one or two characters, and characters who cannot speak must stay with their attendant. Families are common at weekends, so agree with your attendant beforehand how far to engage with children and photos.

Any camera is fine, from a phone to a full camera kit. Do not get in the way of other park users, take care not to catch them in your photos, and take photos indoors only in the rented rooms. The organizer sets up a tatami room for relaxing and a white or black backdrop for portraits. Training Room 2 is a no-shoes room, so fursuiters should bring sandals. Lunch is up to you, with restaurants and a convenience store within walking distance, and you may leave whenever you like; packing up starts around 19:00 to 20:00.
