Hankyu Railway will launch a collaboration with the popular character Kirby of the Stars from Friday, August 22, 2025, through Tuesday, March 17, 2026, featuring special decorated trains and more.

*The train schedule is irregular.

*No additional fees are required; regular Hankyu tickets can be used to board.

Kirby and Waddle Dee, wearing specially designed original hats, will be featured riding in the conductor’s cabin of the wrapped trains.

(Stuffed figures will be the same across all three lines.)

On the first and eighth cars (front and rear) of each train set, specially designed “Kirby × Hankyu Railway” headmarks will be displayed.

The train interiors will also be fully decorated with collaborative illustrations. Posters and stickers on hanging straps and beside doors will feature special designs.

Starting Tuesday, September 2, 2025, limited-edition collaboration food and drinks will be sold at Hankyu Station in-station and nearby shops. Don’t miss the chance to try these adorable treats available only here!

In addition, beginning Wednesday, September 10, 2025, cute collaboration merchandise will also go on sale. This includes plush toys of Kirby wearing the original hat and pouch, hanging strap keychains, lunch tote bags, and more—a total of 28 collaboration items.
