we often see vending machines,
in railway and tube stations,
but nothing like these!
not only the size of them, but the variety of of goods sold,
a
wall of over 150 gachapon vending machines has been newly installed at Akihabara Station
in Japan, for fans of the miniature capsule toy-dispensing gachapon vending
machines, Kenelstand is your new best friend. Wall-to-wall gachapon vending
machines filled with fun, whimsical and sometimes surreal miniature toys have
recently popped up at train stations around Tokyo,
branded
as “Kenelestand” and designed by Akira Mabuchi, the wall-to-wall gachapon boast a sleek,
black facade with scattered illuminated squares highlighting the current
selection of toys. But these are not your typical toy cars or trains. Geared
more towards grownups, the rotating selection includes whimsical toys like
miniature designer furniture from Tendo Mokko, miniature kissaten foods,
miniature Japanese kitchen tools,
the Kenelestands are operated by Kenelephant and
are currently located at Shimbashi and Akihabara stations,
the
selections constantly rotate in and out so there’s no telling what you’ll find
when you visit, but clearly there’s something for everyone,
my thoughts for having a vending machine like this the UK? we need bigger stations!
