Chofu PARCO in Chofu City will hold "GeGeGe PARCO," a GeGeGe no Kitaro tie-in event, from November 18 to November 30, overlapping with the city's GeGeGe-ki 2026 program. Under the concept "Beware of Yokai," visitors can run a stamp-style rally to find hidden yokai, use a photo booth with the Kitaro family, and buy eight original collaboration menu items plus goods at three limited-time shops.
Chofu City bills itself as the city where Mizuki manga was born and holds GeGeGe-ki around the November 30 anniversary of Shigeru Mizuki's death. This year the city program runs the same November 18 to November 30 window as the PARCO event, with anime screenings and talk shows by voice actors and staff on the city side.
The PARCO building gets its own storyline: Kitaro and the yokai leap from a mysterious hole that has opened in the shopping center. Visitors chase that premise through the building with a map from the Yokai Appearance Guide, collecting five characters to finish a keyword.

- Photo booth: Commemorative photos with the Kitaro family
- Original towel handkerchief: First 200 per day spending 8,800 yen or more including tax at participating stores
