Wow, kind of cool, but an _extra_ $30 just to go up the elevator? A bit of a rip off, no? Great video though, Paolo! Thanks for showing us. I just saved $30. XD
Imagine a country that is arguably the most technologically developed in nearly all fields of science, medicine, engineering, infrastructure, entertainment and arts, and at the same time having a freaking moving Gundam. Honestly, I'm impressed.
And yet it's oddly backwards in other ways. They still largely use cash for daily purchases rather than credit cards/mobile payments (I haven't used cash for years). Documents are often required to be signed using a personal stamp rather than a written signature.
Good points but don’t overestimate and paint with a broad brush. Check out his video on their legal system. Archaic. They have a 98% conviction rate based on their practice of forcing confessions.
I just started building Gundam model kits. I'm a chef and I love working with my hands. Quarantine has unfortunately left me unemployed, but it's allowed me to pursue a hobby that I've been mulling over for years. I cannot wait to travel to Japan and visit this Gundam Factory (with Granddaddy Gundam RX-78-2) and the Unicorn Gundam too! Thank you for making these videos. They make my day and always give me new ideas for things I want to do when the borders open up and I can visit Japan for the very first time!
Its not a recognista that the Gundam Factory wants but it probably true to a good extent. With international travel down 90% or more it might not seem sensible to keep it longer. I hope they factor longer term goals for that Gundam BC it will bounce back if given a chance.
They can't do that in the open. It would jeopardize the secret that it's a fully functional Gundam... why tip them off to it when they can just remove the rear hop support and put a shield and rifle as a harsh surprise vs the enemy?
Japan has so many amazing attractions that are always very limited time events but I guess that's why they can rotate through so many things and always have something new.
I have a suggestion for a video. I kind of understand the different types of train service like express, local, etc. but could explain all the types of service and when the run. We just catch the next train.
I was so unbelievably happy when I heard this was a thing and scheduled an entire day trip to Yokohama for my trip that was supposed to happen this year... but due to COVID obv not happening. I am PRAYING that they do decide to keep it running at least for a year or two after Japan opens up to tourists again after the pandemic. I was sooooo upset when I realized that I might not actually be able to go here I LOVE GUNDAM! I want to experience this so much! I am soooo happy you did this Paolo since I only saw photos before, but videos help make me feel like I can get more of a taste of it. I'm crossing my fingers they extend its opening so I can come and see it!!!!
Lol! This is what I was thinking. They have other giant gundams around the country and it'd be hilarious if it was all a tourist front for real, functioning gundams.
Thanks for this video, Paolo! I miss Japan sooooo much! I was in Tokyo last year from Mar 1-7 2020 and I went to Odaiba to see the Unicorn Gundam and I was soooo amaze! I cant wait to go back to Japan and make sure that this place is on my list!!
Paolo , 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks for this Paolo , I remember watching this every Sunday with my big brother way , way , way back in the old days s s s s s s s . That time English Subtitle was not available 😍 but we love it 😊 watching .
Check out our video from the pre-opening event last year, we even had a chance to interview Kawahara-san, the lead engineer behind the design of this Gundam! - th-cam.com/video/HT-c7Uzc2Dk/w-d-xo.html
(I´m pretty sure it´s the only one in the world, FYI) but WOW !!!! thanks for taking us there, I have been waiting for you or other youtubers to go there or to other scale modeling stores.
Imagine in a few years they would already figure out how to make tis whole mecha work in real combat and there will also an academy to learn how to pilot it
You know, I generally try to limit my subscriptions, but I really love your energy and enthusiasm so you have a new subscriber. Thank you for your video. It looks like Gundam factory was extended until March of next year. Definitely going to try and go.

@borray s America didn't cause a real estate crash in the early 90s Japan did that all themselves.
And yet it's oddly backwards in other ways. They still largely use cash for daily purchases rather than credit cards/mobile payments (I haven't used cash for years). Documents are often required to be signed using a personal stamp rather than a written signature.
And still use a fax machine in most offices.
And still stuck at web 1.0

If Covid didn't happen, this place would've been crowded by so many travelers.
Yeah, I'd be one of those many people also. Stupid corona virus pandemic might rob the chance for many of us to see thus Gundam...
@@Nelsea7190 I'm putting seeing giant gundam in a list of things that got ruined by Covid
Yeah, such a buzzkill. Although plane tickets I presume are way cheaper now, maybe easier to fly to Japan if they would allow it.

We can only hope they extend it a year or so... I hope they open their borders soon! I'll Fly there ASAP to see this before it goes
Its so crazy to think I live near there, I can actually see my high rise in a few of your shots. I sure am blessed to be living out my dream in Japan!

With Out a doubt The Best Video on Gundam Factory Yokohama. So Well done Paolo. Being a Gundam Builder I Thank You.
Taking me back to the days of watching Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.
Tonami?
That opening song was/is pretty dope.
Hell yeah! Canadian dubbed goodness!

Best gundam series imo
Ok so I’m a Gundam fanatic and LOVE THIS VIDEO! I’m trying to go next spring for my bday.

I can feel your comment by seeing your profile pic.😂

This was great! I was just there, traveling to Yokohama for work in July 2023. I am so glad I got to see it! Picked up my first Gunpla too!
OMG! Thank you so much for featuring this, Paolo! 🤘👍❤️🇯🇵🤖
Of course!!
I am 2 stations away from seeing this irl. I'm so stoked to be watching this!! I am glad they kept it up for another year!
Everybody gangsta until they put weapon on the gundam
They can't do that in the open. It would jeopardize the secret that it's a fully functional Gundam... why tip them off to it when they can just remove the rear hop support and put a shield and rifle as a harsh surprise vs the enemy?

Japan has so many amazing attractions that are always very limited time events but I guess that's why they can rotate through so many things and always have something new.
WHAT!!! only 2022?!?! With Covid going on international fans will never see it!
hope the official will extend it
If they allow travelers, maybe it's fine since I presume traveling to Japan would be cheaper during this pandemix.
That was my thought as well. They HAVE to extend it. Also, that Gundam has to go somewhere after, can't build it for nothing.
I've seen a few videos of the rx78 but none of em showed him moving so hats off to you Paolo great job and amazing video!
Thanks for the good activity.
I have a suggestion for a video. I kind of understand the different types of train service like express, local, etc. but could explain all the types of service and when the run. We just catch the next train.
Japan really takes it to cool extremes

Thank you. Glad you loved it!
Imagine the gundam is actually japan secret weapon, that us why it is close in 2022
Secret weapon you say? I will alert, gato! to this news immediately
Lol! This is what I was thinking. They have other giant gundams around the country and it'd be hilarious if it was all a tourist front for real, functioning gundams.
I was thinking the same 😂 . It is not impossible for Japan right ? They can build everything that crosses their mind 😂
And the United States secret weapon it’s a Star Destroyer and the Millenium Falcon of galaxy’s edge
This was my first robot anime to watch.
I really want to appreciate the camera man, that gundam movement really cool!
Your videos have made me decide that when I'm a junior I want to be a foreign exchange student in Tokyo
From @2:34 to @3:22 , those shots were so nice and clean omg
So freaking cool! If I can come this summer that’s on my list to visit!
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for a video like this.
The only thing that makes me wanna live in japan.....i love everything about "GUNDAM"...💜💜
I have been waiting for this. So glad you had a chance to film this. Thank you!
YOOOO, this is so cool!!! 💖
