MUJI Hong Kong anniversary is marking the retailer’s 25th year in the city with a red promotional van and pop up games that will tour 15 neighborhoods from July 24 to Aug. 9, MUJI Hong Kong said in a press release.
MUJI Hong Kong anniversary red van tour
The red van is branded with “MUJI Hong Kong 25th Anniversary” and will set up small interactive game booths when it visits neighborhoods, the company said. The tour covers 15 communities, including Tsim Sha Tsui (a busy waterfront shopping area in Kowloon), Tsuen Wan (a New Territories residential and retail district), Kwun Tong, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok, Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, Tsing Yi and Tung Chung.
The first weekend begins in Tsim Sha Tsui and then moves to Tsuen Wan Market Street and Hing Ning Road in Kwai Fong. MUJI Hong Kong canceled two planned stops at Sha Tin station and On Chi Road in Tai Po for July 26 because of an expected change in weather, the company said.
For the second and third weeks, the van will visit Kwun Tong, Kowloon Bay, Causeway Bay, Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, Quarry Bay, Po Lam, and Mong Kok. MUJI Hong Kong advised that dates and times may be adjusted for weather, traffic, and crowd control, and urged people to check the brand’s Facebook or Instagram pages before leaving home.

Friday July 31, the van will stop in Kwun Tong on Chun Yip Street near the MTR station from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., then move to Kowloon Bay on Lam Fung Street, outside MegaBox, from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., MUJI Hong Kong said.

Free fruit tea and how to join
Visitors who sign up for a MUJI app account on the day of the event and follow MUJI Hong Kong on Facebook or Instagram can redeem one canned flavored tea while supplies last, the company said. The three flavors are plum green tea, passionfruit green tea, and lychee black tea, handed out at random.
10 second lucky ball game and prizes
After registering and following MUJI Hong Kong on social media, participants may play a timed 10 second game to grab a designated color ball. Grabbing a red ball wins a USB Type C rechargeable handheld fan, and grabbing a white ball wins an anniversary popcorn pack, MUJI Hong Kong said.
Anniversary popcorn flavors
The anniversary popcorn is distributed at random and comes in three limited flavors: matcha milk, yuzu citrus candy, and butter chicken curry. MUJI Hong Kong said supplies are limited and prizes are given while stocks last.
