Gashapon Department Store at Yokohama World Porters

Bandai Official Shop is part of the same complex

The separate Official Shop page currently lists 590 installations and supports online-store pickup. Treat Department Store and Official Shop pages as related operations; do not assume every count represents a completely separate product set.

KENELESTAND Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

Kenelephant's current official list places KENELESTAND on 2F of Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse Building 2, with 11:00–20:00 hours. Use it when Kenelephant miniatures are the target rather than simply adding another Bandai search.

Make the waterfront route do double duty

If World Porters and Red Brick Warehouse are already in your Minatomirai day, the two stops form a natural maker-diverse route. If the target is gone, return to the sightseeing plan instead of travelling elsewhere solely for another uncertain stock lead.

Use the maker-search guide before choosing which store matters.

Use the waterfront geography to avoid duplicate backtracking

World Porters and Red Brick Warehouse can fit the same Minatomirai day, so choose the order from your sightseeing route rather than machine count. For a Bandai target, check the Official Shop’s product information. For Kenelephant miniatures, check KENELESTAND. Stop after the relevant branch unless you are browsing generally. This keeps the route maker-diverse without turning both stores into mandatory checks.

Stop after the relevant maker check

If your target is Bandai or Kenelephant, one matching store may be enough. Add the second only for deliberate browsing.
