(3270) And from Shibuya to Yokohama...

Nihon_Arekore_03302_Yokohama_Station_platform_Pokemon_machine_100_cl

...where on one of the station's platforms, there are machines like this selling expansion packs for the Pokemon card game. Since 2014, when it hosted the Great Pikachu Outbreak (Pikachu Dairyo Hassei/ピカチュウ 大量発生), Yokohama has become something like a Pokemon capital and often hosts campaigns related to them. (The sign on the booth is like the station's signs with its name written in kanji, hiragana and Roman alphabet.)
