The Host Club Vending Machine

And what could keep them more entertained than quaffing champagne with the hostpet of their dreams?

But that’s not all – check out the action at Club Minifig

Even The Statue of Too Much Liberty can let her hair down at the Gacha-gacha Club

And need I even mention that everyone’s favorite radioactive lizard welcomes the opportunity to drink whatever he wants, whenever he wants?

This series may be sold out by the time you’re next in Tokyo, but there will be plenty more to take its place! If you’d like to discover the latest, greatest, gachagacha, a guide to the best gachapon hunting spots in Tokyo (with maps!) is on my travel blog, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had. Happy hunting!
