The trips are meant to provide an intimate experience with the renowned Gundam, and include both a night and a morning activity plan. Each session features a lengthy "Moving Gundam" commentary program given by GGC Technical Director Hironori Ishii, which delves into the engineering marvels underlying the 18-meter-tall robot. Attendees will receive a special bonus: the "GFY x Japan Travel Original Package Plastic Model", making this tour a must-see for Gundam fans and collectors.
As GFY approaches its last month, these visits provide a unique opportunity to see the miracle of the Moving Gundam up close. Since its launch in December 2020, the facility at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama, Japan, has captivated tourists with its pioneering moving mech, the RX-78F00 Gundam, as well as its complete Gundam Lab exhibition. Delayed openings owing to the coronavirus pandemic did not dampen the spirit or enthusiasm for the project, which was originally meant to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Gundam franchise and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The Gundam Factory Yokohama, which houses Japan's third 1:1 scale Gundam monument, exemplifies the series' lasting appeal. Its services, ranging from the Gundam Dock to the immersive Gundam Lab, have offered enthusiasts and novices with a thorough understanding of the Gundam universe's lore and technology.
Due to enormous success, the closing date has been extended until March 31, 2024. These special tours pay honor to the legacy of GFY and the Gundam franchise. The facility's commitment to commemorating Gundam's cultural legacy, combined with the additional activities prepared for the tours, guarantees that visitors enjoy a great experience.
Applications for the special accommodation tours are now open, and all interested parties are encouraged to take advantage of this final opportunity to visit GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA in all its magnificence. Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newbie, these excursions offer an inside look at one of Japan's most unique and renowned cultural exports.
