Dress to Impress launched its Trip to Tokyo update on April 4, 2026, replacing the previous Paris-themed era with a sprawling Japanese-inspired map packed with new cosmetics, a redesigned lobby, and a handful of hidden locations. The update is the game's Spring 2026 seasonal expansion, and the accompanying Konnichiwa Tokyo event on Roblox runs through April 18, 2026.
Quick answer: Enter Dress to Impress in freeplay mode, head through the glass door to the Kirameki District, and explore the new Tokyo map — the Cat Cafe is to the left of the district exit, and the secret Japanese garden is accessible via the metro station near the cafe.
New Items and Cosmetics in the Tokyo Update
The Trip to Tokyo update is one of the largest content drops DTI has received, with dozens of free and premium additions spread across clothing, hair, makeup, and patterns. Below is a full breakdown of everything added.
| Category | Count / Details |
|---|---|
| Free Items | 11 |
| VIP Items | 13 |
| Sweet Berry Roblox Set | Themed original set |
| Spring Collection Baddie Pass | Premium seasonal pass |
| Free Hairs | 11 |
| Feminine Makeup | 9 |
| Masculine Makeup | 2 |
| New Patterns | 16 |
| Custom Makeup Additions | 70 |
The Sweet Berry set is a standalone themed outfit rather than a direct recreation of Japanese streetwear, while the Spring Collection Baddie Pass gates additional premium cosmetics behind a one-time purchase. The 70 custom makeup additions represent a significant expansion to the game's face-customization tools, and a new Custom Palette System lets you fine-tune colors beyond the preset swatches.
Tokyo Map Layout and World Changes
The entire lobby has been rebuilt to match the Tokyo theme, and the surrounding explorable area is noticeably larger than the Paris map. Key map additions include a new Traditional Area, a redesigned runway, and the relocation of Lana's Apartment from Paris to Tokyo. The apartment interior, however, remains visually identical to its Paris version — there is no new Lana quest in this update.
Two new animation packs round out the world changes. The Superstar Walk Pack and the Idol Pose Pack give players fresh runway and photo animations that lean into J-pop and idol culture aesthetics.
How to Find the Cat Cafe
The Cat Cafe is a small interactive space tucked into the Kirameki District. You can pick up and hold every cat inside, making it a popular spot for screenshots using the new Photomode System, though there are no quests or currency rewards tied to it.
Step 1: Enter freeplay mode and exit the lobby. Walk toward the back of the map where the runway is located.
Step 2: Interact with the glass door to travel to the Kirameki District.
Step 3: Turn left immediately after exiting the building. Continue past the plushie displays.
Step 4: Turn right at the cat-themed vehicle. The Cat Cafe sits on the street corner directly ahead.
Secret Japanese Garden and the Flower Minigame
A hidden area exists beyond the main Tokyo streets — a traditional Japanese garden filled with cherry blossom trees, reflective ponds, and wooden bridges. Reaching it requires a short metro ride.
Step 1: From the Cat Cafe, locate the metro station directly in front of the cafe entrance.
Step 2: Enter the station and board the first train that arrives. It will transport you to the garden area automatically.
Once inside the garden, follow the stone path to find the Flower Minigame. This is functionally the same as the Valentine's Day Florist minigame — you arrange flowers to complete orders — but completing rounds here earns the new Taiyaki currency instead of the previous event tokens. The developers have indicated that a brand-new minigame will replace the Florist mechanic in a future update, but for now, this is the only way to earn Taiyaki.
New Systems — Safechat, Photomode, and Weekly Boutique Rotations
Beyond cosmetics and map changes, the Tokyo update introduces three quality-of-life systems that affect how you play day to day.
| System | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Safechat System | Filters and moderation layer for in-game text chat |
| Photomode System | Dedicated camera tool for posing and capturing screenshots in any area |
| Custom Palette System | Lets players create and save custom color palettes for clothing and makeup |
| Weekly Boutique Rotations | Rotating selection of items in the boutique shop, refreshed on a weekly cycle |
The Weekly Boutique Rotations are worth paying attention to if you want limited or rotating stock items. Because the selection changes every week, missing a rotation means waiting for it to cycle back — and there is no confirmed schedule for when specific items return.
Lana's Apartment — No New Quest
Lana's Apartment has technically moved to Tokyo, but the interior is a direct copy of the Paris version with no new interactions, dialogue, or quest objectives. If you were hoping for a continuation of Lana's storyline, this update does not deliver one. The apartment still functions as a decorative space you can visit and photograph, but nothing mechanically new happens inside.
The Trip to Tokyo update leans heavily into cute and colorful Japanese fashion trends — gyaru, decora, and idol-inspired looks all have strong representation in the new item pool. With the Konnichiwa Tokyo event running until April 18, 2026, now is the time to grind the Florist minigame for Taiyaki and explore every corner of the Kirameki District before the seasonal window closes.
