About

Opened in 2021 on the third floor of Sunshine City's World Import Mart building, Bandai Namco's flagship gashapon store packs roughly 3,000 machines into about 1,250 m², rows organised by genre, from anime and Sanrio to hyper-realistic mini groceries, animal figures and the surreal joke items that go viral every week. A Gashapon Bandai Official Shop with some 300 more machines opened on the same floor in 2023, so the floor total is well over 3,000. Most turns cost ¥300–¥500, with premium lines higher; change machines and capsule recycling bins are scattered throughout. It's the most photographed gacha venue in Japan and a natural add-on to a day at Sunshine City.
