Would you pay 300 yen for a plane window view!?

You may have noticed from some of my recent posts, but I've become a bit overly fascinated with gachapon lately! I hate shopping but having an excuse to browse some of the capsule machines near my local supermarket, takes a bit of the sting out of having to go shopping! 


One of the ones that grabbed my attention yesterday was the one pictured in this post. Called the 飛行機の窓ミニアチュール (hikoukki no mado no miniachuuru), this capsule toy machine dispenses one of five views of Japan as if from an airplane window! It costs 300 yen per view. And it actually has a movable window shade, just like in a real airplane!


I personally won't be investing 300 yen for a plane window view, but I have to admit it is a pretty cool idea. If I were to invest, I would be hoping for number 3, with the view of Mt Fuji. It might make a novel souvenir for someone who likes both Japan and airplanes. Afterall, 300 yen isn't that expensive all things considered, especially for a visiting tourist coming from a country with a strong currency.
