A “gachapon paradise” on Nippombashi’s Otaku Road where you can enjoy the thrill of hunting for hidden gems.
“Capsule Family” (Osaka, Nippombashi / Namba-Naka 2-1-22) is one of Japan’s largest capsule-toy specialty stores. With over 300 gachapon machines lined up and operating from early morning until late at night (reports vary between 9:00–24:00 or 7:00–24:00), it’s a popular spot among international visitors searching for anime, game-related figures, and limited-edition items.

There are quite a few gacha machines, so it's worth a visit. But the smell of cigarettes is insane!!!! The 4th floor is a smoking area, so the secondhand smoke is severe. It feels like my lungs are rotting.
It's just a scam. Just when you think you've opened the UFO catcher, grabbed something, and it's going up, the arms open again in mid-air and drop the item. I gave it 1 star because I couldn't post 0 stars, so I had no choice but to give it 1
There's less to it than you might think! What you see in the picture is all there is! It's better to just wander around and rotate the capsules scattered around.
There aren't many anime capsules
