HADO to Open New Permanent Venue at Aqua Ignis Sendai’s Digital Fun Park

meleap Inc. is pleased to announce that HADO, the augmented reality activity developed in Japan, will be introduced at Digital Fun Park, a new entertainment area opening within Aqua Ignis Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture.
The venue is scheduled for a pre-opening on July 16, 2026, followed by its grand opening on July 17, 2026.
A New Hub for Digital Entertainment in Sendai
Located in Sendai, the largest city in Japan’s Tohoku region, Aqua Ignis Sendai is a lifestyle destination that combines hot springs, dining, wellness, and family-friendly attractions.
Situated in a coastal area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the facility has become part of the region’s continuing revitalization efforts, welcoming both local residents and visitors while helping create new opportunities for tourism and community engagement.
As part of Aqua Ignis Sendai’s ongoing expansion, Digital Fun Park will introduce a new generation of interactive entertainment experiences designed for visitors of all ages.
The new area will feature HADO alongside IMMERSIA, an immersive projection mapping attraction that transforms physical spaces into dynamic digital environments. By combining physical activity with immersive visual experiences, Digital Fun Park aims to create a destination where families, friends, and visitors can enjoy technology-driven entertainment together.
Bringing Anime-Inspired Experiences into the Real World
Originally inspired by the dream of bringing the worlds of anime and gaming into reality, HADO allows players to launch virtual energy balls and deploy shields using augmented reality technology.
Easy to learn and accessible to all ages, HADO combines physical movement with teamwork, communication, and strategic thinking, creating an experience that appeals to both casual visitors and competitive players.
Today, HADO has expanded to more than 40 countries and regions worldwide and is enjoyed across entertainment venues, schools, sports programs, corporate team-building activities, and international competitions.
Expanding HADO’s Global Community
The opening of HADO ARENA DIGITAL FUN PARK Sendai represents another milestone in meleap’s mission to connect people through technology, movement, and play.
By partnering with local communities and forward-thinking facilities such as Aqua Ignis Sendai, meleap continues to expand access to next-generation entertainment while creating opportunities for people of all ages to connect through shared experiences.
