The exhibition includes rare prototypes, design sketches, and even unreleased “phantom” gachas―offering a behind-the-scenes look at one of Japan’s most enduring pop culture phenomena.At the center of the exhibition is Gachagacha Street, a vibrant installation featuring 200+ real capsule machines. Here, you can purchase current hits, exclusive early releases, and special items designed just for this event―including branded keychains from top creators. It’s part gallery, part shopping spree, and totally immersive.Visitors can also experience the Gachakuri 1 Grand Prix, where creators showcase original capsule toy concepts based on a surprise theme.

Two live talk events add even more depth:
