🎮 1st Floor｜Claw Machines (UFO Catchers)
The first floor is filled with claw machines, known in Japan as UFO catchers.
You’ll find cute plush toys and Japanese character prizes, making it fun for both kids and adults.
It’s a great place to stop by after sightseeing or activities, especially for families traveling with children.

At the back of the second floor, you’ll find Purikura, Japanese-style photo booths.
Purikura is a unique Japanese culture experience where photos are automatically edited — your eyes get bigger, your skin looks super smooth, and sometimes you might laugh and think,
“Who is this? 😛”
That surprise is part of the fun! The printed photo stickers make a perfect souvenir from Japan.
