Shopping

Akihabara Gachapon Kaikan

Around 500 capsule toy machines in one room, restocked constantly.

Capsule toys, or gachapon, are a Japanese format that barely exists overseas. This hall runs roughly 500 machines side by side, covering anime characters, food miniatures, animals and deliberately absurd novelty series.

Pourquoi ça vaut le détour

It is the cheapest possible souvenir. A hundred yen produces something you genuinely cannot buy at home.

Seulement ici

Series that run for only a few weeks before being replaced.

Quand y aller

Never crowded enough to be a problem.

Bon à savoir

Machines take 100-yen coins only. There is a change machine, but bring coins to save time.
