Momoiro Clover Z Pilgrimage: From Their Debut to Haru no Ichidaiji and Momokosai

Walk along the zelkova-lined avenue where they performed street shows. See a mural moved from a venue where they once dreamed of performing. Look for manhole covers and four-colored roses left in different towns. Momoiro Clover Z’s journey is connected with streets and parks that you can still visit today.

Momoclo is now a four-member idol group. Since their first appearance in 2008, they have gone through a six-member era and performed as five at the former National Stadium. Since 2017, they have worked with local governments through the live event Haru no Ichidaiji. In 2026, their fall Momokosai festival was held in Chosei Village, Chiba Prefecture.

This guide follows the group’s early starting points and milestones in its live shows, then visits the host communities from 2017 to 2019 and the locations of every annual event from 2022 through 2026. It introduces 14 places you can see or walk through today. It also explains how to visit former buildings seen from outside, facilities open by reservation, and exhibits to enjoy alongside an overnight stay.

Kawasaki Azalea, 2008 | A connection to Momoclo’s first stage in an underground mall by the station

Kawasaki Azalea is an underground shopping center connected to Kawasaki Station. Now a place for shopping and dining, it is also where Momoclo first appeared as a group. You can trace their starting point before they performed in major stadiums in this shopping center, which is still open today.

On May 17, 2008, the six members at the time made their first appearance at an audition event held by Stardust Promotion’s Section 3. They sang “Ano Sora e Mukatte” (“Toward That Sky”). The lineup that day included Kanako Momota, Shiori Tamai, and Reni Takagi, who are still active in the group. Ayaka Sasaki joined in November that year.

For Azalea’s 40th anniversary in 2026, an event featuring Reni Takagi as a guest was held at Sunlight Plaza on October 3. It marked an ongoing connection with the facility 18 years after Momoclo’s first stage.

The 40th-anniversary program also included posters displayed inside the mall with handwritten messages from the members. This was not a permanent exhibit, and no end date was announced. If you are visiting to see the posters, check with the facility about whether they are still on display. Use the mall as a regular shopping center and follow event guidance on event days.

Yoyogi Park B Area, 2008 and 2010 | From the zelkova avenue to the outdoor stage

Two people walking across the plaza beside the white outdoor stage in Area B of Yoyogi Park

Yoyogi Park’s B Area has a zelkova-lined avenue and an outdoor stage. Paths wind between the trees, and the plaza hosts a range of events. This is where Momoclo spent time performing street shows.

The group’s official timeline records that they began street performances on Zelkova Avenue in Yoyogi Park from July to September 2008. They handed out homemade flyers and sang songs including “Ano Sora e Mukatte.” Walk around the zelkova avenue in B Area, where these activities took place.

On November 23, 2010, they held the final show of their tour at the same Yoyogi Park. The concert at the outdoor stage was titled “The Cats Have Returned: From the Street to the Stage of Our Dreams.” Its name reflects the group’s return to the place where they performed on the street to hold a free concert.

The park is open at all times and free to enter (some facilities charge admission). How B Area is used varies with events. Check which areas are open for walking, and do not enter the stage or managed event areas without permission.

Nakano Sunplaza, 2011 | Trace the turning point to “Z” from the outside of a closed concert hall

A woman looking up at the exterior of Nakano Sunplaza

Nakano Sunplaza stood near the north exit of Nakano Station and closed in 2023. As of October 2026, the building remains and its walls are used for advertising. Visitors can now see the building’s exterior.

On April 10, 2011, the hall hosted “Momoclo Haru no Ichidaiji: You Were There Amid the Dazzling Light.” It was the first year of Haru no Ichidaiji and Akari Hayami’s graduation concert. The members sang “A Song for Akari,” and after the show announced that they would add “Z” to the group’s name.

The six-member group became five and began the “Seven Trials” the next day. Nakano is where the group turned from “Momoiro Clover” into “Momoiro Clover Z.”

The south plaza is open as a public space where residents and visitors can stop by. Follow event and management guidance while viewing the exterior. Indoor visits are not offered, and the building’s appearance has changed since the concert, including through advertising displays.

Mosaic murals from the former National Stadium, 2014 | See works preserved from the concert venue of their dreams

A woman looking up at the current National Stadium, with its wooden eaves and landscaping

Beneath the southwest deck of the current National Stadium (MUFG Stadium) are large murals moved from the former stadium. The 11 works are made of glass and tile mosaics. The building where Momoclo performed in 2014 is gone, but visitors can see original pieces from the old stadium in the mural area outside the new one.

On March 15 and 16, 2014, Momoclo held “Haru no Ichidaiji 2014: National Stadium Concert — Never-Ending Adventure: Beyond the Dream.” Performing at the former National Stadium had been a goal since their debut. They became the first female group to hold a solo concert at the venue.

After Nakano, Haru no Ichidaiji expanded to two days at Yokohama Arena in 2012 and two days at Seibu Dome in 2013. Their first dome concert was at Seibu Dome in summer 2012. The former National Stadium show followed their path from halls to arenas and domes.

Demolition of the former stadium was completed in 2015, and the current building was completed in 2019. The murals described here were moved in late September 2022. They are preserved as works commemorating the former stadium, not as a memorial to a Momoclo concert. Visit to see the works that were passed on, rather than treating the current stands as the same venue as in 2014.

The tourism association lists the mural area as a one-minute walk from Kokuritsu-Kyogijo Station and a five-minute walk from Shinanomachi Station. Check the current stadium’s guidance for restrictions around events and competitions.

Summer Momokosai | Nissan Stadium and Ecopa in Shizuoka

As Haru no Ichidaiji progressed toward the former National Stadium in spring, Momoclo created Momokosai, a summer concert themed around a festival. Follow that story through two venues: Nissan Stadium and Ecopa.

Nissan Stadium, 2013, 2014, and 2016 | The first stadium concert and home of the summer Momokosai

The concrete columns and entrances of Nissan Stadium

Nissan Stadium offers reservation-only tours on scheduled dates, including the stands, player facilities, and areas near the field. It is a chance to walk through a major sports venue. For Momoclo, it was the site of their first solo stadium concert and their summer Momokosai shows.

The first concert was “Natsu no Bakasawagi: World Summer Dive” on August 4, 2013. On July 26 and 27, 2014, they held Momokosai, staging a summer festival with a giant shrine and food stalls. Momokosai 2016 followed on August 13 and 14. Alongside their spring journey toward the former National Stadium through Haru no Ichidaiji, they developed a festival format at this venue in summer.

The shrine and mikoshi from those concerts were stage decorations, not permanent memorial exhibits. Current tours include commemorative items in the main hall, the players’ locker rooms, and field-level areas. Visitors cannot enter the grass, and the route may change depending on events.

Tours last about 60 minutes and require advance reservations. Check the official website for available dates and openings before booking. Visit to experience the scale of the stadium and its sports facilities.

At Ogasayama Sports Park Ecopa in Shizuoka Prefecture, a stadium and plazas spread across the hills. It is about a 15-minute walk from the south exit of JR Aino Station, along an uphill route. In addition to walking in the park, visitors can book a stadium interior tour in advance, including on some non-event days.

Momokosai 2015 was held at Ecopa Stadium on July 31 and August 1. Shizuoka Prefecture is Kanako Momota’s home prefecture, and the group’s official timeline describes it as a homecoming concert. On the second day, they also announced a five-major-dome tour for the following year.

Facility tours may include the locker rooms, stands, and areas close to the pitch. Routes can change depending on events and facility conditions. Confirm the terms for individual visitors with the facility and book in advance.

The sports museum on the stadium’s first floor is free, but it focuses on facilities such as soccer and rugby and is not presented as a Momoclo exhibit. Plan around your time, whether walking from Aino Station through the park or booking a tour inside the stadium.

Beside the castle ruins, with reconstructed moats and earthen ramparts, is a cluster of old houses. Fujimi’s Nambata Castle Park is a historic park where you can walk through both the castle-ruins and old-house areas. The Former Osawa Family House preserves the layout of a village headman’s home, including the formal entrance and rear parlor.

On February 15, before Haru no Ichidaiji 2017 in Fujimi, Reni Takagi and then-member Momoka Ariyasu visited the park. They took photos in the field in front of the Nagayamon gate and ate udon in the rear parlor of the Former Osawa Family House. Fujimi City’s “Nambata Castle Park Guide for Mononofu” records their visit.

The commemorative exhibit and stamp rally held alongside the concert have ended. Visitors can now see the old house and paths the two members visited.

The museum and old houses are open 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and closed Mondays except holidays, the day after holidays except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and over the New Year period. The park is open year-round, until 5:00 p.m. October–March and 6:00 p.m. April–September. Admission to the park and museum is free.

Two travelers beside the semicircular commemorative sign at Ozora Plaza in Nunobiki Green Stadium

At Ozora Plaza by the stadium entrance, visitors can see a replica of the special sign for Haru no Ichidaiji 2018. The design of the sign displayed on stage on concert day was preserved at the entrance after the event.

Haru no Ichidaiji was held at Nunobiki Green Stadium in Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, on April 21 and 22, 2018. Higashiomi was selected through an open call to local governments nationwide, following the 2017 event in Fujimi. The sign at the venue entrance recalls that year’s concert.

The place to visit is Ozora Plaza at the entrance. The stadium field and interior stands are managed separately as sports facilities. It is about a 20-minute walk from Daigakumae Station on the Ohmi Railway. Check the general sports park’s guidance before visiting for current plaza and facility access.

Hotel Kurobe at Unazuki Onsen has a “Mononofu Corner” displaying Momoclo goods. Mononofu is the name for the group’s fans. The exhibit includes items collected by the hotel president and pieces donated by fans from across Japan. It is listed in the hotel’s current official guide to its facilities.

The connection between the hotel and Momoclo began in 2019. According to a TV Asahi POST article about the show Momoclo Chan, the members stayed at the hotel while filming an opening video for Haru no Ichidaiji in Kurobe. In 2023, Reni Takagi and Ayaka Sasaki returned to record a radio program and visited the lobby exhibit.

From the hotel terrace, you can also see the trolley train on the Yamabiko Bridge side and scenery toward Unazuki Dam.

Four-colored roses at Chuo Park, 2023 | Four member colors represented by Fukuyama rose varieties

Two women looking at four rose colors in Fukuyama Chuo Park

At Chuo Park, look for the “Momoclo roses” in pink, red, yellow, and purple. Each variety has its own name: “Rose Fukuyama” in pink, “Beautiful Fukuyama” in red, “Princess Fukuyama” in yellow, and “Fukuyama Castle” in purple. The members’ colors are linked with varieties from Fukuyama, a city known for its roses.

On February 18, 2023, ahead of Haru no Ichidaiji 2023, Shiori Tamai and Ayaka Sasaki visited Chuo Park and planted roses. Tamai planted the yellow “Princess Fukuyama,” and Sasaki planted the pink “Rose Fukuyama.” The city’s current rose guide also features these four colors.

The main flowering seasons are early to late May in spring and late October to early November in fall. Blooming depends on the year and weather, so all four colors may not be in bloom at once. The park is open at all times, with no regular closing days or admission fee. It is about a 10-minute walk from the south exit of JR Fukuyama Station.

Walking paths run through the park among its clock tower, flower beds, and stream. Amagadai General Park in Chosei Village, Chiba Prefecture, hosted Momoiro Clover Z Fall Momokosai 2026 on October 17 and 18.

After its years of partnering with local communities, Haru no Ichidaiji moved to fall in 2026 and was held as Fall Momokosai.

Before the concert, Kanako Momota and Ayaka Sasaki also visited the park. Chosei Village’s tourism information on the concert’s official website describes how they visited village facilities separately before heading to the park together. This is a visit to the latest concert location.

Be aware of entry restrictions while the concert site is being dismantled. The village says that access to some areas of the park is restricted from October 20 to 30. The dates may shift depending on work progress, so check the village’s restriction notice before visiting and follow directions on site.

Regular opening hours are 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., until 4:30 p.m. in December and January. Sports facilities in the park have separate conditions for use. A commemorative museum associated with the concert has not been confirmed as open to the public, so it is not included as a visitor destination.

From the old National Stadium to Haru no Ichidaiji across Japan, through concert footage

What you can see at these locations is different from the concert stage itself. Two officially released videos trace a milestone at the old National Stadium and Haru no Ichidaiji as it expanded to communities around Japan.

Field notes | Following the group’s live history through today’s towns

In Kawasaki and Yoyogi, early activity sites remain part of everyday life in an underground shopping center and a public park. The Nakano hall has closed, and the old National Stadium building is gone. Yet its mural has been preserved, while manhole covers, roses, and commemorative signs across Japan have become places fans can visit after a concert. Understanding how each site has endured reveals connections between the group and local communities that a list of venue names alone cannot show.

The display at Hotel Kurobe, the traditional house in Fujimi, and venues still used for concerts each have different conditions for visitors. When introducing a community project, it helps both hosts and visitors to explain what remains, who manages it, and which areas are open to the public.

Are the Shibata and Kameoka manhole covers the same one?

No. They commemorate different concerts. In Shibata, the cover depicting all four members commemorates the 2025 concert and is beside Zoshunkaku in Higashi Park. In Kameoka, the original-logo cover commemorating the 2024 concert is on the sidewalk in front of Nango Park.

When do the four rose varieties in Chuo Park bloom?

Fukuyama City lists early to late May and late October to early November as the best viewing periods. Timing varies by year and weather, and all four varieties may not be in bloom at once. The park itself is open year-round and free.
