Title:
Tofu head Capsule Toy Machine
Caption / Description:

A Japanese Tofu head magnets Capsule toy machine, on the digital observatory deck of the N Seoul Tower (엔 서울타워) on Mount Namsan (남산) in Seoul(서울). To the right of this is a Japanese Doraemon Capsule toy machine, Doraemon is a popular cartoon character in Korea as well as Japan.

While it may seem strange to have Japanese capsule toy machines in a Korean tourist attraction, many tourists visiting the tower are from Japan. (Though that still begs the question, why would they buy something on holiday they can get easily at home?)
