At the "SUNRISE Booth", it has been decided that "GUNDAM-Con Exclusive Creator Illustrations" (reproduction illustrations) by creators associated with the Gundam series will be sold each day.
As the "GUNDAM-Con Exclusive Creator Illustrations" are limited in quantity and sold exclusively at the GUNDAM-Con venue, they will only be available for purchase by those who win the lottery held at the SUNRISE Booth.
Furthermore, those who purchase these illustrations will be able to participate in an autograph session with the creators who drew them.
The illustration purchase lottery and autograph sessions are scheduled to be held around the evening of each day. The designs for the "GUNDAM-Con Exclusive Creator Illustrations" and the timetable for the SUNRISE Booth will be revealed at a later date, so please look forward to it.

DAY 1 Sales... Mr. Jyunya Ishigaki / Mr. Nobuhiko Genma
DAY 2 Sales... Mr. Satoshi Shigeta / Coming Soon
DAY 3 Sales... Mr. Michinori Chiba / Coming Soon

In addition, the SUNRISE Booth is planning talk shows featuring the creators themselves, as well as a "DJ Caesar Gundam Song Stage" where you can get hyped up with Gundam songs.
As we head toward the 50th anniversary of the Gundam series, we will continue to welcome the diverse creators who have supported the series and deliver projects that can only be experienced at "GUNDAM-Con", so please wait for further updates.

The JTB Official Tour offers accommodation at the APA Hotel & Resort "Tokyo Bay Makuhari" adjacent to the venue, in addition to an admission ticket for "GUNDAM-Con 2027 SIDE MAKUHARI". This reduces the burden of traveling before the event starts, allowing you to fully enjoy the event from opening to closing.
Furthermore, we have prepared exclusive benefits unique to the JTB Official Tour, such as original goods limited to tour participants and access to a dedicated Lounge. It is a special travel package where you can enjoy the afterglow with Gundam fans gathering from all over the country and overseas even after the event ends.
