Joshin Super Kids Land Main Store

The five story facade of Joshin Super Kids Land in Osaka wears a giant, three dimensional plastic model of a tank emerging from the wall. This building functions as the flagship store for one of Japan’s largest hobby retailers, dedicated entirely to scale models, radio controlled cars, and train sets. It occupies the space where local hobbyists gather to track down rare plastic kits. Shoppers navigate aisles stacked with thousands of boxes, ranging from miniature Gundam robots to complex wooden ship models.
