GUNDAM SIDE-F Fukuoka: LaLaport shopping, entry and the outdoor statue
GUNDAM SIDE-F is a merchandise shop on LaLaport Fukuoka’s Mall Building 4F; the life-size ν Gundam is outside at 1F Forest Park. Plan the outdoor performance separately from shop entry and limited-product purchases. Some dates may use an advance lottery or web entry tickets.
Official information reviewedWhere should I start?
Decide whether your priority is outdoor photographs and performances or buying Gunpla. We suggest checking the performance notice, then shop hours and entry rules, followed by travel, meals and luggage space. An entry ticket does not guarantee product stock, and a facility description does not prove the craft area is operating.

The outdoor statue and 4F shop serve different plans
SIDE-F is at LaLaport Fukuoka Mall Building 4F, 6-23-1 Naka, with published standard hours of 10:00–21:00. Seeing the outdoor statue does not complete any shop entry process. Leave time for moving inside, lifts and checkout.
Check official details ↗Check advance lotteries and web tickets for your date
The business-status page says some dates use advance lotteries or web entry tickets, and crowd limits may apply. Exhausted tickets can mean no admission that day. Read the live operator page directly rather than treating an old post or this guide as a real-time admission promise.
Check official details ↗Recheck the outdoor performance for date and weather
The reviewed schedule from September 19, 2026 separates daytime performances from evening wall projections. It lists hourly daytime slots from 10:00 to 18:00 and several evening slots from 19:00 to 21:00 with different content. Weather or events can change or cancel them; recheck the official schedule on your visit day.
Check official details ↗Separate limited goods, craft access and carrying purchases
Check the product notice and quantity limit for the Gunpla you want; admission alone does not establish stock. Consult the current status notice for craft-space operation. For large boxes, plan luggage space and the return journey first. We suggest a shorter shopping stop if you are travelling to the airport afterwards.
With children, plan outdoor waits, meals and the return
For statue photographs, consider rain, heat and wind and keep outdoor waits short. Avoid blocking paths while taking pictures, and allow food and rest after indoor shopping. Use LaLaport’s official access page to compare the journey from your accommodation and the return. A large mall is not automatically a short trip.
Questions before you go
Does seeing the statue mean I have visited SIDE-F?
No. The life-size statue is outdoors at 1F Forest Park; SIDE-F is on Mall Building 4F. Check shop entry separately.
Can I always enter the shop without booking?
The operator lists date-specific advance lotteries, web tickets and crowd limits. Check the business-status page for your visit.
Can I use the craft space straight away?
Do not rely solely on the facility description. The status notice checked on October 28, 2026 says it is suspended until further notice; recheck for any reopening.
