Limited Time Capsule Toy Machines @ Akihabara JR Station, Japan with Travelgirl

Hi Everyone,

For 4 months, in the middle of Akihabara JR station (inside the gates) was a limited-time capsule toy machine event for commuters. Akihabara is a major station on the Yamanote line which can be reached by subways and other JR lines. As commuters change trains, they will most definitely have to go past the open area where the capsule machines are located. It was a nice feature to put in this open space, let people stop and spend a bit of time checking out these cute toys.

There was a variety of them depending on what you like. They are also priced differently depending on the popular of the toy and the size of it. As you can see below, at 9 pm there were still many people around the area trying to find a toy they want to try and get from the machines. They range from 200 - 500 yen from what I can see where the 500 yen ones are bigger toys.

If you don’t have any 100 yen coins, don’t worry there was a machine for commuters get change for the machines. Note that the machines only take 100 yen coins and no other so make sure you put in the right coins when trying to get a capsule. Of course I was looking out for Hello Kitty and Sanrio friends and found a few I like. I did spend quite a bit of money on some of them. I’ve always liked capsule toys as I love the suspense and the click of every time you turn the knob, the result may not be always what you wanted but definitely something fun or cool will come out.

大家好，在日本旅遊期間，在秋葉原 JR 站裏有一個限定扭蛋活動. 因為在秋葉原站裡面有好大的空間，所以這段時間都放著很多扭蛋機讓乘客轉車的時候可以停下來，玩一下. 當然我也有扭一些，我專門找的都是 Hello Kitty 系列. 大部分的扭蛋機要 200-500 yen. 200 yen 的玩具都比較普通，500 yen 的玩具就比較大一點. 如果沒有零錢不用擔心，他們很貼心有一部機讓你換成 100 yen 幣. 每次我去日本都會玩扭蛋機所以看到今次有限定活動特別開心.
