Tokyo Station Gachapon: Two Shops Outside the Gates

First check which side of the gates you need

Different floors, both outside JR ticket gates: Bandai is in Tokyo Station Ichibangai’s Tokyo Character Street on B1; KENELESTAND is in Gransta Yaekita’s Yaekita Shokudo on 1F, in the Yaesu North Exit area. Save the branch name and floor before following station signs.

For B1, the Ichibangai access page points to the Yaesu Underground Central gate; it does not establish the nearest gate or shortest route to Bandai. For 1F, look for 八重北食堂 (Yaekita Shokudo). Use the official maps and current station signs.

If you are changing trains without leaving the paid area, ask railway staff how exiting would affect your ticket before going through a gate. These shops fit an arrival, departure or station-area visit more easily than a tight connection.

Use the item page as a lead

The Bandai Official Shop’s branch page publishes item-level stock signals, including ○ and △ counts. The Bandai page warns that published information may differ from the actual store stock. Use the item page to prioritize a visit when the shop’s access and opening hours fit your plans. It does not establish that a machine will still be available when you arrive.

Choose one stop that fits the journey

• For a Bandai series, start with the Tokyo Character Street shop and its branch item page.
• For Kenelephant miniatures, start with KENELESTAND in Gransta Yaekita.
• For a short train connection, keep the connection first. Allow for leaving the gates, indoor navigation and reaching your next platform.
• If you visit both, use one total spending limit across the two shops.

Use the maker search guide to identify your series, compare other areas in the Tokyo store guide, and set a spending limit with the budget tool.
