Gacha Para, short for Gacha Gacha Paradise ガチャガチャパラダイス, is an exclusive gachapon store in Sannomiya. What is a gachapon? It’s a small capsule toy you can buy in vending machines across Japan (and many other countries these days). The “gacha” is the sound of twisting the dial and the “pon” is the sound of the capsule falling.
Gacha Para is located on the second floor of Kobe Sun Center Plaza just off Sannomiya Center-gai. This shopping mall is known for its anime and otaku shops. With plenty of video game stores, figurine shops and more you can geek out to.
Gachapon prices vary but the average around 300 yen. From Star Wars to drunk Japanese and everything in between. Explore the machines and take a chance to see if you can get your favourite capsule toy.
