HIKKY announced on July 28 that it released the Fujikyu Highland-themed VR space "Virtual FUJIQ" on VRChat on July 27. The world is part of the XR Annual Project marking the 100th anniversary of Fujikyu Railway's founding. Visitors can enter for free 24 hours a day from VR devices or Windows PC by searching for "Virtual FUJIQ" within VRChat. The space keeps attractions from Virtual Market 2026 Summer, held July 11 to 26, playable after the event ended. These include the VR coaster "Super FUJIYAMA!," which accelerates the more the player screams, and the water attraction "Sugoku Nagashimasuka," a two-choice quiz about Fujikyu Highland trivia. HIKKY states this is the world's first VR coaster that accelerates with screams, based on its own research from February to June 2026. Beyond serving as an event archive, the space is a hub for the Fujikyu Highland virtual community "FUJIQ VIRTUAL PLAZA," which has drawn over 10,000 members within about two weeks of recruitment. Community members interact on Discord and will help plan the Virtual Market 2026 Winter exhibition. New attractions and content are planned, incorporating member feedback.
The press release, published July 28 at 12:00 PM, frames the space as the first step of Fujikyu Railway's "XR Annual Project," which aims to create "new customer experiences combining real and digital." Fujikyu Highland's first-ever Virtual Market exhibition took place in July 2026, and the VR space continues that initiative beyond the event period.
HIKKY describes itself as an XR company with the mission "Let's play! Beyond dimensions," operating Virtual Market (Vket) since 2018 and the real-world event VketReal. Fujikyu Railway is a comprehensive leisure company based in the Mount Fuji area, running railways, buses, Fujikyu Highland, hotels, ski resorts, and campsites, with the founding spirit "Opening Fuji to the world."
Both outlets note the community's Discord serves as a channel for members to exchange opinions with the management team, and that ideas will be solicited regarding Fujikyu Highland's XR initiatives. The press release confirms content creation will reflect those voices, with new attractions, exhibition content, and community events added sequentially.
