◆ Fun that is slightly different from street stall cotton candy
24 types of cotton candy
The cotton candy from 'CANDY SPIN' is authentic, supervised by a famous shop in Harajuku known for its highly popular rainbow cotton candy. It automatically makes colorful cotton candy chosen from 24 designs in about 2 minutes. There are four flavors: strawberry, lemon, soda, and plain. The price is 500 yen, and it accepts various QR code payments such as PayPay in addition to coins. The installation location is on the 3rd floor in front of Jungle Kids.
◆ A mechanism that makes you want to take a video
Both children and adults can't help but be captivated by the process of the cotton candy being made. At other installation locations, it has become a hot topic with many comments like, 'It's cute to see children staring intently at the automatic cotton candy making process' and 'I couldn't help but take a video,' and actual users' posts can be seen on Instagram. Notably, at Aeon Mall Sapporo Hassamu, it is so popular that there are lines from morning to night.
The cotton candy vending machine, combining 'experiential' and 'cuteness', is likely to attract attention as a new spot where you can enjoy a little fun while shopping.

◆ Background of introducing the experiential cotton candy vending machine as a new spot in commercial facilities
Nakazawa Co., Ltd., which develops the watch specialty store 'Time Station NEO' nationwide, has recently been challenging the introduction of new technologies and content to expand the value of physical stores from 'a place to buy products' to 'a place to enjoy experiences'.
The introduction of 'CANDY SPIN' this time is also part of such efforts. We want to be an entity that connects with local people with a smile beyond the boundaries of watches—this is a new challenge with such thoughts.
◆ To commercial facility personnel
'CANDY SPIN' is an unmanned entertainment device that operates with only a few maintenance checks a day. Staff trained by the watch specialty store 'Time Station NEO' are in charge of maintenance and operational support, ensuring a safe system for hygiene and equipment management.
In addition, this machine has acquired PSE certification based on the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act, clearing safety standards for installation in facilities.
As labor shortages become an issue, attention is gathering on utilizing empty spaces in commercial facilities as a presence that achieves both labor-saving and customer experience.
We are always accepting proposals for collaboration and installation with commercial facilities.
