Wanderer’s Ballad: Popotolino’s Birthday Festival 2027

Event Overview

Wanderer’s Ballad: Popotolino’s Birthday Festival 2027 is an immersive fantasy LARP (Live Action Role-Playing) event. Participants take on roles such as wanderers or adventurers to weave their own stories within a realistic setting. Using techniques developed in Europe, this event allows you to experience a medieval fantasy world through all five senses. The event is organized by CLOSS, a leading Japanese LARP creator group.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The core of this event is total immersion. By stepping away from daily life through specialized props, costumes, and themed cuisine, you will feel as though you have truly traveled to another world.

There is no requirement for combat. You can enjoy high-freedom roleplay through negotiation, exploration, or simply enjoying music at a tavern. Since there is no fixed ending, the 'ballad' (story) is created by your own choices and actions. For beginners, a support system and rule explanations are provided to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience safely.
