This was one of our favorite places on our trip. I encourage you to visit this place and explore it a bit. People who work there were super nice and wholesome. I also found a bag with random items that was super cool and it's one of my favorite purchases. We are definitely returning first chance we get ?
Really awesome and a huge collection of Gachapon. I think they had 2 Pokemon machines I didn't see anywhere else but otherwise I didn't notice anything special or unique really other than just a little larger than typical selection. Was cool the first day but the more I walked around the city it lost its luster as they're everywhere. Cool to visit if you're going by but I wouldn't make a special trip for it.
This place is small, but it’s a full-blown capsule toy paradise. Hundreds of gachapon machines line the walls, filled with the most bizarre, cute, hilarious, and oddly specific toys imaginable. We’re talking mini ramen bowls, office-chair keychains, cats wearing sushi costumes, and anime trinkets galore. I ended up spending way more time and coins than I intended, and it was worth every yen. The randomness is part of the fun – you never know exactly what you’ll get, and it becomes addictive. There’s always a new collection, and the machines are kept clean and well-organized. Pro tip: bring a bunch of 100 yen coins or use the change machine near the entrance. Even if you’re not into collectibles, it’s fun just to see the wild variety. Great for all ages, and a fantastic way to bring home small, unique souvenirs. Just don’t blame me if you leave with 20 capsule toys and want to come back for more.
Wall-to-wall capsule machines filled with the most random, ridiculous, and oddly specific treasures you can imagine. I had no idea what I was doing, but that’s part of the magic: insert coin, twist, and let fate decide. It's noisy, weird, a little overwhelming... and completely addictive. I left with a bag full of tiny surprises and zero regrets.
