Exclusive '灯の守り人' Merchandise at Hiroshima Port

Fans of the beloved '灯の守り人' project now have an exciting opportunity to collect exclusive merchandise directly from special vending machines located at the Hiroshima Port Terminal. Managed by World Eggs, a company based in Tokyo, this initiative breathes new life into the cultural and historical significance of Japan's lighthouses by personifying them through engaging stories.

Vending Machines in Hiroshima

Three beautifully wrapped vending machines showcasing key characters from the project have recently been installed inside the Hiroshima Port Terminal Building. These machines allow fans easy access to '灯の守り人' goods, offering a delightful shopping experience for visitors to Western Japan. The terminal site is conveniently located at 1-13-26 Ujinakaigan, Minami-ku, Hiroshima, on the second floor of the AKARI CAFE Ujina.

Getting There

The vending machines are just a one-minute walk from Hiroshima Port Station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway and also easily accessible from the Hiroshima Port Wharf bus stop. This prime location is near where the Hiroshima Minato Festa event will take place on March 14 and 15, making it an ideal stop for those planning to attend the festival.

Unique Merchandise

The wrapped design of these vending machines prominently features characters inspired by the Ōkunoshima Lighthouse and Takane Island Lighthouse, reflecting the rich culture of Hiroshima Prefecture. The selection of merchandise ranges from popular fan-favorite items to exclusive goods that can only be purchased from these vending machines, offering something for every enthusiast.

About the '灯の守り人' Project

The '灯の守り人' project takes a unique approach by anthropomorphizing lighthouses across Japan and crafting captivating narratives around them.

This innovative project aims not only to excite lighthouse fans but also to engage a broader audience by uncovering the hidden charms of these coastal beacons. Fans can expect continued updates on characters and content via the official website and social media platforms.
