Capcom announced that the Miraino store that will open in Aeon Mall Date will include the country’s first Monster Hunter bowling alley. The location will open on November 17, 2026. [Thanks, PR Times![

Miraino’s name literally translates to “of the future.” The design concept is Capcom’s suggested “entertainment of the future.” According to the description, the Monster Hunter bowling alley incorporates aspects of the games’ setting. There will be animations played along the lanes and on the front screen, making you bowl and feel like a monster hunter at the same time. Aside from the Monster Hunter bowling alley, this Miraino will also bring Crazy BANet with Capcom All Stars—a large-scale physical activity based on popular Capcom characters—to the Tohoku region for the first time.

Aside from normal arcade games and activities, Miraino also has Dive!Capcom, which lets you “see, touch, and play” the newest information. This likely means that you’ll get to play demos of upcoming Capcom games. There is also VR-X, which lets you experience original VR experiences that Capcom has designed. During the grand opening of the store (which will last until December 25, 2026), there will be deals on the activities. VR-X and Crazy BANet with Capcom All Stars will each cost 500 JPY when they’re usually 2000 JPY (for non-membership adults).

The upcoming Miraino Aeon Mall Date Store that will open on November 27, 2026 will feature the first ever Monster Hunter bowling alley in Japan.
