LULUARQ

LULUARQ is a Fukuoka-based Japanese operator of amusement facilities and capsule-toy specialty stores, formerly named Dai-cho Shoji, founded in 1958 as a vending-machine operator. It opened Japan's first capsule-toy specialty store in 2014 and scaled its Gachagacha no Mori chain hard during the pandemic-era retail vacancy boom. ORIX Corporation acquired all of its shares in April 2025.
