Authentic Japanese Arcade & Events!

The ultimate collaboration between Japanese toy giants SEGA and Takara Tomy, “Gacha & Catch,” opened its doors on November 22, 2025, at the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade. Two months in, this pop-up store is buzzing with excitement and hosting various events!
Authentic “Real Japan” Experience
Step inside, and you are transported straight to Japan. With over 200 Gachapon machines and 70+ UFO Catcher games, everything here—from the machines to the prizes—is imported directly from Japan. You can experience the thrill of turning the handle and the joy of winning, just like in a Japanese arcade.

New Arrivals Every Month!
They stock the latest trends, including SEGA’s “Sonic,” “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Hatsune Miku,” and quirky Takara Tomy Arts collectibles. New items arrive from Japan every month, so there is always something fresh to discover.

Events & Photo Ops!
The colorful, pop-design interior is perfect for photos. It’s not just a store; it’s a hub for Japanese entertainment culture. They are currently holding various unique campaigns and surprise events, so be sure to check their SNS and visit soon!
