Genshin Impact’s New Official Cafe Confirms Opening Date and Location
HoYoverse has officially confirmed the opening date and location of Genshin Impact’s first permanent cafe in Japan, unveiling new artwork and a teaser video as the highly anticipated venue prepares to welcome fans of its hugely popular online RPG.
The new “Genshin CAFE” will offer players a dedicated space inspired by the world of Teyvat, built around the concept of “A Detour Along the Journey”, with the new artwork showing Aether, Lumine and Paimon relaxing together around a cafe table surrounded by colorful decorations and floating Slime-shaped balloons.
Originally released in September 2020, Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world action RPG that follows the Traveler, a mysterious adventurer searching for their missing sibling while exploring the vast fantasy world of Teyvat.
Accompanied by their floating companion Paimon, players travel between different nations inspired by real-world cultures, meeting a growing cast of characters and uncovering the mysteries surrounding the world’s gods and ancient civilizations.
The game has become one of HoYoverse’s most successful franchises, expanding through regular updates that introduce new regions, storylines and playable characters across PlayStation, Xbox, PC and mobile platforms.
HoYoverse originally announced plans for Japan’s first permanent Genshin Impact cafe during the game’s sixth anniversary celebrations in September 2026, confirming that a dedicated location would open somewhere in Tokyo the following year.
The latest announcement identifies Yurakucho Marui as the cafe’s permanent home, placing it inside a major shopping complex in central Tokyo, close to the busy shopping and entertainment districts of Ginza and Yurakucho.
Dedicated Genshin Impact cafes have also opened in Seoul, Paris and Moscow, whereas fans in Japan have largely been able to enjoy the game through limited-time food and merchandise collaborations.
These have included a special Genshin Impact collaboration with Baskin-Robbins Japan in September 2026, which introduced themed ice cream products, exclusive merchandise and digital rewards featuring characters such as Flins and Linnea.
For Japan’s new official cafe, HoYoverse plans to offer food inspired by Genshin Impact’s fantasy world alongside exclusive merchandise and special promotional campaigns, allowing visitors to enjoy an experience designed specifically around the game throughout the year.
Specific menu items, merchandise designs and promotional campaign details have not yet been announced, with further information expected to be revealed shortly.
Details concerning opening hours, admission requirements and any advance reservation system also remain unconfirmed, although these are similarly expected to be clarified in the near future.
“Genshin CAFE” will officially open on January 20, 2027, on the third floor of Yurakucho Marui, located at 2-7-1 Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
