[Local Report] A thorough report on acosta! @ Ikebukuro Sunshine City (September 6-7, 2025)! Includes many cosplay photos

The cosplay event "acosta! @ Ikebukuro Sunshine City" was held in Ikebukuro on Saturday, September 6th and Sunday, September 7th, 2025. Many cosplayers and photographers from all over the country gathered at the event, making it a huge success.

This time, a writer who actually attended the event will provide a thorough report on the day. We will introduce the charm of Acosta!, from the route from the station and the atmosphere of the venue, to the enthusiasm of the participants, and the cosplay that was full of highlights.

How do I get to the venue from Ikebukuro Station?

The main venue for acosta! is Ikebukuro Sunshine City. It's about a 15-minute walk from the nearest JR Ikebukuro Station, and can be reached via Sunshine 60 Street and the Sunshine City underground passage. There are many commercial facilities and restaurants along the way, making it convenient for shopping and filling up on food before the event.

Sunshine City is a vast facility, but the Acosta! venue is located on the edge, so it's a bit of a walk. However, the directions were relatively simple and we were able to get there without getting lost. We recommend checking the directions and maps on the official website before heading there.

Acosta!'s comprehensive support system is friendly even to beginners

acosta! was full of thoughtful considerations for cosplay beginners and those attending an event for the first time.

• Beginners' courses: Guided events are held to teach you how to enjoy cosplay events and proper etiquette, creating an environment where you can participate with peace of mind.

• Communication badges: Metal badges will be available for participants to interact with each other, making it easy to connect with fans of your favorite works and characters.

In addition, the official website has carefully compiled information on "Cosplay Manners" and "Frequently Asked Questions," so by checking it in advance you can enjoy the event even more.

A variety of events to liven up the event! The karaoke stage was also a huge success!

In addition to cosplay and photography, there were many other events planned to liven up the event.

Particularly impressive was the **Karaoke Stage**, which anyone could participate in. Many participants took to the stage to show off their singing voices, and the venue was filled with excitement. When a familiar song came on, the surrounding audience joined in, creating a sense of unity.

In addition, there will be events planned to encourage interaction among participants, so you can enjoy yourself all day long without getting bored.

Seriousness at its finest! A cosplay report that conveys the participants' enthusiasm

acosta!@Ikebukuro Sunshine City brought together high-quality cosplayers from all over the country.

The indoor and outdoor photo areas were a lively success, with participants taking photos that made the most of their respective locations. The outdoor venue was particularly popular, as it allowed for the capture of photos with a fantastical atmosphere thanks to the lush greenery and natural light. Participants paid attention to the details of their costumes, and the result was a high level of perfection that made them look as if they had jumped out of the film.
