Exciting New Experiences at the NicoNico! Transportation Land Pop-Up Shop
The popular interactive pop-up shop, '#NicoNico! Transportation Land#,' located in shopping centers nationwide, has been upgraded to provide a richer experience for visitors of all ages. Starting on November 20th, 2025, families and fans can immerse themselves in a world of creativity and fun with the introduction of new workshops alongside the beloved Tomica and Plarail merchandise!
What's New?
New Workshops
One of the highlights of this revamped pop-up is the addition of engaging workshops:
1.
Acrylic Keychain Making
Participants can purchase a base keyring for 600 yen (tax included) and then select from an assortment of acrylic charms representing their favorite vehicles. With additional charm options priced at 350 yen each, visitors can create personalized, jingling keychains that reflect their unique style.
2.
Name Holder Creation
For those looking to indulge their creative side further, the name holder workshop allows participants to combine various parts and design their own original name holder. The base for this project is available for 1,320 yen (tax included), with different parts starting at 250 yen each.
White Tomica Workshop
In addition, two new models have been added to the popular White Tomica series, which allows participants to customize their vehicles at the White Tomica Factory. The starting price for a White Tomica is 880 yen (tax included), and the range includes up to four different types of vehicles, including the all-new Dream Wagon! Note that specific models may vary by location, and painting must be done within the workshop area.
Moreover, a test track and a dedicated photo spot will be available for those who purchase White Tomica vehicles, adding extra fun to the experience! Details regarding the pop-up shop will be made available on the Village Vanguard website.
Fun Activities Continue
Visitors can also enjoy popular activities like the
Point Get Race, where participants can make a Tomica zoom to earn points based on where the car stops. With three chances to roll, the total points determine how many custom acrylic keychains participants can earn. Each activity requires a ticket purchase of 600 yen (tax included), which includes a random original sticker from a selection of five designs.
The
Shinkalion Target Game provides another thrilling option, where players can throw balls at a target to win points and earn exclusive acrylic keychains as prizes, also requiring a 600 yen ticket.
