Chiikawa toy craze grips Hong Kong as thousands queue for McDonald's promo meals
Tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong have queued for Chiikawa toys that come with McDonald's Happy Meals as part of a promotional tie-up between the fast food chain and an exhibition featuring the famous Japanese manga. Some 20,000 customers were in line on the McDonald's reservation website at certain points on Monday after sales opened at 11am, and hundreds showed up at different outlets to queue for the special meal sets hours before they were made available. The promotion was related to a three-week event called 'Chiikawa Days Exhibition', organised by Hong Kong studio AllRightReserved, which will begin in the city on August 1 at K11 Musea in Tsim Sha Tsui. Chiikawa, which means 'something small and cute', is the name of the titular hamster protagonist created by Japanese artist Nagano. As part of the promotion, eight different Chiikawa toys will be given away with Happy Meal purchases on Mondays and Fridays between July 28 and August 22 at 40 McDonald's outlets in the city. At a McDonald's branch in Causeway Bay, Heiman Chan, 40, dressed in a Chiikawa T-shirt and carrying a Chiikawa plush doll on his shoulder, waited in line with his prepared QR code to collect the toy with his meal set. 'I found out online that McDonald's was selling Chiikawa Happy Meals, so I came especially to buy one today,' he said.

Stay or go? Key events give Ishiba time to ponder his future.
Will he stay or go? For Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, a number of key political events in the coming weeks are expected to affect the timing of any decision to quit or remain in his post. Ishiba has reiterated his intention to stay in office — in defiance of growing calls for him to step down from within his Liberal Democratic Party after the party's poor showing in the Upper House election this month. "I'll manage the nation with my utmost sense of alarm and responsibility to leave a better Japan for the next era," Ishiba said in a speech in the resort town of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, on Friday. Earlier that day, Ishiba reportedly told a meeting of ruling and opposition party leaders that he had no plans to resign. But the prime minister could face direct calls for to step down at a meeting of LDP lawmakers from both chambers of parliament that is scheduled for Monday. Separately, middle-ranking and younger LDP members are seeking to hold a general meeting of party lawmakers to take responsibility for the Upper House election results, effectively urging Ishiba and party executives to resign. On Friday, they said they had collected signatures from one-third of the party's lawmakers, the minimum required to hold such a meeting. Meanwhile, an extraordinary session of parliament will begin next Friday, with intensive discussions set to be held on the recent Japan-United States tariff agreement. With the country set to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II on Aug. 15, early media reports suggest Ishiba will issue a message in a personal capacity to mark the event, instead of an official statement formally rubber-stamped by the Cabinet. He is also said to be keen on attending as a sitting prime minister the annual peace ceremonies on Aug. 6 and 9 to mark the anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. In addition, Ishiba has emphasized the importance of an international conference on African development in Yokohama from Aug. 20 to 22. Some in the party appear willing to tolerate Ishiba remaining in office until the conference concludes. Many in the LDP believe Ishiba will step down after the party conducts a review of the Upper House election in August. On Friday, its Youth Division submitted a written request to the party leadership, urging them to resign after the review. "The prime minister is expected to step down after the review," a senior party member said. However, whether this scenario will be realized remains to be seen. On social media, an increasing number of posts have encouraged Ishiba to stay on. "The prime minister is extremely motivated," one veteran LDP member who recently met with Ishiba said. "Public opinion will also influence his decision on whether to step down."

TOKYO, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- List Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Naoyuki Kitami; Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture), a comprehensive real estate company, announces that its consolidated subsidiary, List Development Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Hiroyuki Kiuchi; Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; hereinafter "LD"), has entered into a hotel management agreement with Royal Minor Hotels Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Kohei Motoyama; Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Royal Minor Hotels") on July 10, 2025. At the signing event held on the same day at the Tokyo American Club, the two parties announced plans for a new luxury resort hotel under the "Anantara" brand — marking the brand's first entry into Japan. The property, to be named Anantara Karuizawa Retreat (hereinafter "the Property"), is scheduled to open in 2030 in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. Nestled in approximately 10 acres (approximately 40,000 square meters) of forestland with views of Mount Asama, the resort will feature a total of 51 guest accommodations, including suites and villas, and will be developed as a premium luxury retreat. As a comprehensive developer that plans, develops, and produces high-quality residences and communities, List Development is engaged in a wide range of projects, including its proprietary condominium brand "List Residence" series, primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as the development of office buildings, vacation homes, and resort properties. In recent years, the company has focused on the development of hotel condominiums and luxury residences. In December 2024, List Development completed a hotel condominium project in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. The current project marks List Development's first venture into hotel resort development. Anantara Karuizawa Retreat will harness the region's year-round natural beauty and connectivity to offer travellers nature-led escapes. The property's strategic location near the Karuizawa Hokuriku Shinkansen (bullet train) Station provides convenient access from Tokyo, which is just over an hour away by train, as well as from nearby cities such as Nagano, Kanazawa and Maebashi. Karuizawa is a favoured weekend escape getaway, renowned for its cool climate in the summer and abundant year-round outdoor attractions, including the Karuizawa Kazakoshi Park, golf courses, forests, hiking trails, hot springs and skiing. The destination's international appeal is on the rise, especially among Asian travellers, and it is within two to three hours by train from Tokyo's Haneda and Narita international airports. Anantara Karuizawa Retreat will provide its guests with highly personalised service and exclusive accommodations, offering 23 suites measuring 60 to 120 sqm and 18 luxury two- and three-bedroom villas, which are being considered for future branded residence offerings, with further details to be announced as plans progress, ranging in size from 70 to 270 sqm. The villas will provide an additional 28 keys to the hotel's inventory, with select two-bedroom villas available as 70 sqm standard and 130 sqm one-bedroom villas, bringing the total key count to 51. Guests will enjoy three on-site food and beverage outlets, including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty concept and a bar. Wellness will be a fundamental part of the resort's offering, centred around an Anantara Spa and onsen, and with additional wellness programming across the property. Other leisure facilities will include a swimming pool, fitness centre, library and resident's lounge. Additionally, the property will offer flexible meeting facilities to meet the growing demand for corporate gatherings in the region. The design of Anantara Karuizawa is anticipated to blend modern design with the site's natural surroundings, utilising natural materials such as exposed timber peaks and large windows to create harmony with the environment and offer sweeping views of Mount Asama. Kohei Motoyama, President and CEO, Royal Minor Hotels Co., Ltd., commented:"We are extremely proud to partner with List Development Co., Ltd. for the launch of the Anantara Karuizawa Retreat.

We have long been committed to enriching people's lifestyles by creating high-quality homes and communities. In recent years, we have extended this philosophy to hotel condominiums and luxury residences, applying the know-how we have cultivated over time. It is within this context that our vision has aligned with that of Royal Minor, resulting in the signing of this hotel management agreement. Karuizawa is one of Japan's premier resort destinations, offering excellent access from the Tokyo metropolitan area as well as rich natural surroundings and beautiful seasonal landscapes. We were particularly drawn to its global recognition and the growing demand among affluent travellers seeking high-quality experiences. The site also enjoys a rare vantage point overlooking Mount Asama, a symbol of Karuizawa, and we are confident that introducing the "Anantara" brand to this location will enable us to provide a truly luxurious experience that fully satisfies both the mind and body of our guests, from both Japan and abroad.
