Gundam Factory Yokohama is an entertainment complex located at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama, Japan.[1] Its main feature is a moving Gundam, an 18-metre tall[2] pilot-operated "mech" (a large mechanical automaton with a human operator inside) from the Japanese animated franchise Gundam. It is the first moving mech of its type.
Originally planned to open by October 2020 to both celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Gundam franchise and for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the construction of the exhibit was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3] The site opened 19 December 2020 and will remain open until March 31, 2022.[4] The closing date was however delayed to March 31, 2023 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic,[5] and then delayed again to March 31, 2024, due to the lasting success.[6] On 18 December, rock band Luna Sea performed the 40th anniversary's theme song, "The Beyond", on live TV at the opening ceremony.[7]
Events for the closing ceremonies on March 31, 2024 are scheduled to include a speech by series director Yoshiyuki Tomino, a "performance of the last activation experiment in a scenario that continues the story from the opening event", and a drone art show consisting of about 1000 drones and fireworks.[8]
There are two features to the exhibit: Gundam Dock and Gundam Lab.
