It looks like the capsule toy specialty store “#C-pla” opening in Corowa Koshien will open on Friday, May 24.
(Thanks to Taa-san and Mako-san for the tip.)
Here it is↓
Apparently they’ll have a lineup of around 1,000 kinds of capsule toys😆
The location is here↓

Next to the escalator on the 3rd floor. It’s where the hanko stamp shop “Kyoto Inhan” used to be. The freshly squeezed orange juice vending machine is nearby too.
Here’s how the 3rd floor looked as of Sunday, 5/12↓

It also looks like they’ll be opening in the spot on the basement 1st floor where the lifestyle goods shop “HAPiNS” used to be! So there will be two locations♪
The basement 1st floor space is larger, so maybe this one will feel like the main location😄
According to Mako-san, as of the 15th, construction and bringing in capsule toy machines had not yet started in the basement 1st floor area.

The capsule toy machines have finally been brought into the basement 1st floor too~~👏👏
It looks lively and fun😆 There seem to be quite a lot of machines too.
According to Taa-san, the plain, undecorated machines were first brought in here, and then each one was carefully wrapped on-site! Wrapping machines with so many curves and uneven surfaces really is skilled craftsmanship😳
W-wait, is this!!!
A Hanshin Tigers capsule toy machine!?
Finally
Until now, Corowa Koshien didn’t have a capsule toy area, so this is exciting news for kids who love gachapon! It opens on Friday, May 24.
*Taa-san and Mako-san, thank you for the information!!
