◆ Features That Make You Want to Take a Video
The process of the cotton candy being made captivates not only children but adults as well. At other installation locations, it has generated buzz, with many commenting on the cuteness of children staring intently at the automated process and people instinctively taking videos, leading to many posts on Instagram by actual users. In particular, at Aeon Mall Sapporo Hassamu, it has become so popular that lines form from morning until night.

◆ Background of Introducing Experiential Cotton Candy Vending Machines to Commercial Facilities
Nakazawa Co., Ltd., which develops the watch specialty store 'Time Station NEO' nationwide, has recently been challenging itself to introduce new technology 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' is part of this initiative. It represents a new challenge fueled by the desire to transcend the boundaries of watches and connect with local people with a smile.
◆ To Commercial Facility Stakeholders
'CANDY SPIN' is an unmanned entertainment device that operates with only a few maintenance checks a day. Staff members who have received training from the watch specialty store 'Time Station NEO' are in charge of maintenance and operational support, establishing a system that ensures safe use in terms of hygiene and equipment management.
Furthermore, this machine has obtained PSE certification based on the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law, clearing safety standards for installation within facilities.
Amidst labor shortage challenges, its role in achieving both labor-saving and enhanced customer experience is drawing attention as a way to utilize empty spaces in commercial facilities.
We are always accepting proposals for collaboration and installation from commercial facilities.
