Enjoy a Fun-filled Capsule Toy Experience at Toys Spot Palo!
The excitement continues at Tokyo Skytree's first floor with the popular capsule toy shop,
Toys Spot Palo! Initially set up for a limited duration from July 19 to August 31, the shop's success among visitors has led to an extension until
September 30. This dedicated capsule toy store, brought to life by
Aeon Fantasy, features an impressive collection of over
400 capsule toy machines and unique attractions like the
giant capsule machine and the
Penny Truck!
A Celebration of 60 Years of Gacha Culture
Toys Spot Palo collaborates with
Penny and
Takaratomy Arts to commemorate the
60th anniversary of capsule toys in Japan. Visitors will experience the
Gacha Japan Landing 60th Anniversary Tour, showcasing the vibrant
capsule toy culture that began when
Penny imported the first gacha machines from the U.S. in 1965.
One of the standout attractions at the store is the towering
2-meter giant gacha machine, a favorite photo spot for many. Aside from fun and games, this display invites everyone to immerse themselves in the whimsical world of capsule toys.
The History Behind Capsule Toys
Understanding the roots of gacha toys adds to the charm of the store.
Penny, the company that introduced capsule toys to Japan, takes visitors back to 1965 with a pop-up display showcasing the
