The GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA Opening Period Has Been Extended to March 31st, 2023!
A special design bus will also circulate!
The opening period of GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA, the facility at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama where a life-sized moving Gundam is on display, has been extended by one year! It will now be open until March 31st, 2023.
The extension has been decided after talks with Yokohama City and all parties involved, thanks to the passionate requests of all the fans from Japan and abroad who couldn’t visit because of the state of emergency declared to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Because of the extension, the venue will be closed for maintenance for two months from mid-May and will reopen in mid-July. We will announce the details on the GFY official website as soon as they have been decided.

Furthermore, starting from February 23rd (a Wednesday and a national holiday), the Bayside Blue bus will circulate wrapped in a special design in collaboration with GFY. Bayside Blue is an articulated bus that connects the East exit of Yokohama Station with the tourist attractions of the Bayside area and with Yamashita Pier.
The impressive design features the dynamism of the moving Gundam, which can be enjoyed from several angles, on a metallic blue base inspired by Yokohama’s image.
