Volks Osaka Showroom

First time in the area

Six floors of one company, and each floor is a different shop: over 1,500 rental showcases on the ground and first floors, character plastic kits with the supplies and tools on the third, scale models and trains on the fourth, Doll Point Osaka on the fifth, and an event floor on the sixth for pop-ups and exhibitions. The rental showcases alone are the reason to come — 1,500 cases let out to private sellers is a second-hand market with no shop's buying policy in the way.

To know · 11:00 to 20:00, every day except when the building itself closes. Tax-free. The floor you want decides which lift you take, so read the board before you climb.

Trap · A rental showcase is one seller per case, not a shop: each case has its own price and the staff cannot negotiate for the person who rented it. Prices in neighbouring cases for the same item can differ by a lot, and that is the market working, not an error.
