A temporary store named Yokaï Pop has opened at La Coupole in Nîmes on Monday, November 2, targeting fans of Japanese culture. The store is situated on level 0, in the Gambetta corridor, directly opposite the Paul store, and aims to bring the vibrant and playful elements of Japanese culture to visitors.

Store features interactive elements

Yokaï Pop offers several interactive spaces for visitors to explore and enjoy, including claw machines where they can win kawaii plush toys, and gashapon capsule dispensers that release small surprises. There are also Mystery Boxes available for 5 euros, containing various items inspired by Japanese culture.

Collectibles and creative items available

The store provides a range of collectibles such as figurines, collectible cards, and Book Nooks—small decorative models that visitors can assemble. These items are designed to appeal to both collectors and those interested in Japanese art and craftsmanship.

Japanese food and drink selection

A dedicated area within the store showcases Japanese confections, snacks, and drinks, some of which feature unique or unexpected flavors. This part of the store aims to immerse visitors in the sensory experience of Japanese cuisine and culture.

Special offer for opening

To celebrate its opening, the first 50 customers who purchase a pack of 10 tokens will receive a free Book Nook Sakura, a miniature model inspired by the iconic Japanese cherry trees.
