Street Fighter 6 is taking its battle beyond the screen and into the real world, with two train stations in Nara, Japan, receiving a major themed makeover. Kintetsu Group Holdings, CAPCOM and Kashihara City have launched a collaboration that transforms Yamato-Yagi Station and Kashiharajingu-mae Station into destinations for fans of the fighting game.
The collaboration combines Street Fighter 6 character artwork with local tourism, giving visitors several reasons to stop at the stations while exploring Kashihara and the surrounding historic areas. The campaign includes character decorations, a large mural, specially designed station signage, limited commemorative admission tickets and original announcements featuring the voices of Ryu and Chun-Li.
The installations are scheduled to remain in place through July 30, 2027, giving fans plenty of time to visit. The project also connects the popular CAPCOM franchise with the history and sightseeing attractions surrounding Kashihara City.
Yamato-Yagi Station Gets a Full Street Fighter 6 Makeover
Yamato-Yagi Station serves as one of the main locations for the collaboration, with Street Fighter 6 designs appearing throughout the station. Fans can find themed decorations on the central staircase, restroom signs near the ticket gates and the waiting room on the Osaka Line platform.
A large mural has also been installed on a wall near the station plaza on the north side, creating a dedicated photo opportunity for visitors.
The collaboration also offers limited-edition admission ticket sets at both participating stations. Yamato-Yagi Station’s set costs JPY 1,080, while the Kashiharajingu-mae Station set costs JPY 720. Each station has 1,000 sets available, sold for cash at its staffed Limited Express Ticket Office while supplies last.
The two ticket holders feature different designs. When placed side by side, the Yamato-Yagi and Kashiharajingu-mae designs form a single complete image, making the pair particularly appealing to collectors.
Ryu and Chun-Li Will Announce Kashihara Attractions
The collaboration goes beyond visual decorations. Visitors at both stations can hear original Japanese-language announcements featuring Ryu, voiced by Hiroki Takahashi, and Chun-Li, voiced by Fumiko Orikasa.
The announcements will play approximately every 20 minutes between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. through July 30, 2027. Rather than simply promoting Street Fighter 6, the character voices will introduce visitors to sightseeing destinations around Kashihara City.
The campaign therefore serves as both a Street Fighter attraction and a tourism initiative. Yamato-Yagi Station is a gateway to the historic Asuka and Fujiwara region, while Kashihara is surrounded by sites connected to Japan’s ancient history.
Street Fighter 6 Collaboration Connects Gaming With Nara Tourism
Visitors can use the stations as starting points for exploring attractions including the Fujiwara Palace Site, Kashihara Jingu and Ishibutai Kofun. The Fujiwara Palace Site preserves the remains of Fujiwara-kyo, while Kashihara Jingu is a major shrine associated with Emperor Jimmu.
Ishibutai Kofun, meanwhile, is one of Japan’s largest ancient burial mounds. The three destinations give the Street Fighter 6 collaboration a broader tourism angle, allowing fans to combine the gaming-themed experience with historical sightseeing.
Kashiharajingu-mae Station is also only around five minutes by train from Yamato-Yagi Station, making it practical for visitors hoping to collect both commemorative ticket designs.
International visitors can also use Kintetsu’s sightseeing passes to travel around the region. The KINTETSU RAIL PASS 2day costs JPY 3,700 for adults and JPY 1,850 for children, while the KINTETSU RAIL PASS 5day plus costs JPY 6,700 for adults and JPY 3,350 for children. The official Kintetsu railway network confirms Yamato-Yagi and Kashiharajingu-mae are connected on its routes.
