Gundam Factory Yokohama Logo
Gundam Factory Yokohama was an amusement center themed after the Gundam franchise. Located at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama, Japan, it was the home of the moving life-sized RX-78F00 Gundam. It officially opened on December 19, 2020 [1] and closed after March 31, 2024.[2][3] Parts of the Gundam were reused for a new statue in front of the Gundam Next Future Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka from April 13 to October 13, 2025.[4]
On December 3, 2020, the life-sized RX-78F00 Gundam statue set two Guinness World Records: The Largest Mobile Humanoid Robot and The Largest Mobile Gundam.[5][6]
