Card shops are filled with people who are passionate about trading card games (Trekkie competitions), where heated battles take place every day. However, there is one element of concern – the distinctive smell in the shop. There is always a problem with smells in places where people gather, but at Grand Panda Canyon a revolutionary solution to this problem has been taken. It is called ‘Aroma Shoe’. Let’s take a closer look at the secret behind how this initiative is refreshing the air inside the restaurant and providing a more pleasant environment.

1. what is Aroma Shoe? A thorough explanation of its mechanism and effects
Aroma Shoe is a revolutionary scent that transforms the bad smell of foot and shoe odour, which people find unpleasant, into a good smell in seconds. Aroma Shoe mixes with the unpleasant odour of shoes and feet to create a clean herbal scent. The scent of natural plants that are converted into a clean herbal scent can be wafted into the space by an automatic air freshener, effectively changing the air quality in the shop. The main attraction of this system is that it changes the smell into a good odour in seconds and the fine particles can spread the fragrance over a wide area. You will feel as if fresh air is flowing into the shop.

2. Why is odour control in Akihabara card shops necessary?
In a place like Akihabara, where people gather, odour problems inevitably occur. Especially in card shops where people stay for long periods of time, there are few windows and ventilation is difficult, and the heat from the people complicates things, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable atmosphere. This is where initiatives such as Aroma Shoe play a very important role in maintaining the image of the shop and the comfort of customers and workers.

3. What is the background to the introduction of Aroma Shoe at Grand Panda Canyon?
The reason why Grand Panda Canyon introduced the Aroma Shoe is not only to prevent odours, but also to ensure the comfort of customers. A comfortable space is essential to enjoy playing Trekkers. Therefore, it was recognised that improving the quality of the air in the shop was key to making the customer experience even richer.

4. how to use the Aroma Shoe and its benefits – a new weapon for keeping spaces pleasant
The Aroma Shoe is a simple device that allows natural scents to waft through an automatic air freshener. Set the opening and closing times on the air freshener and timer, and the air freshener will run at the shop’s opening time and the air freshener will also stop at the closing time. Once set, even if the air freshener is moved and unplugged, the time settings are recorded and the air freshener will operate in the same way when it is switched on. In Grand Panda Canyon, the fragrance machines are installed in efficient locations in accordance with the lines of flow of people through the shop and the shape of the shop space, to reduce fragrance consumption and keep costs to an absolute minimum. In Grand Panda Canyon, shop opening times are also changed to coincide with card launches and other events. Sales often start at 7am. In order to keep costs as low as possible, but to make the space comfortable and fragrant even during irregular opening hours, the staff manually turn on the power and keep the space fragrant and comfortable even during irregular hours. The staff manually switch on the scenting system to maintain a comfortable space with natural and expensive scents and to keep costs to a minimum in order to entertain the customers.

5. the importance of odour control to differentiate from other card shops
In the highly competitive market of card shops, it is necessary to have something that sets you apart from other shops in order to differentiate your shop’s appeal. The Grand Panda Canyon card shop has improved the comfort of its interior by introducing Aroma Shoe, which creates a refreshingly fragrant space of natural plant herbs, offering a space that is different from other card shops. By incorporating ‘elements that appeal to the senses’ with natural scents, customers are not only left with a strong impression of the shop, but also lead to an increase in repeat customers.

6. Psychological effects of aroma shoe scents – why they increase the concentration of the trekkers’ game
Scents are known to have psychological effects. For example, relaxing and concentration-enhancing scents are very effective in improving concentration during Trekkie matches. In the Grand Panda Canyon, where the Aroma Shoe was introduced, the scents serve to provide a quiet energy for the players who are immersed in the Trekkers’ game. It is truly a ‘silent supporter’ for concentrating on the Trekkie game.

7. changing the atmosphere of the shop! The magic of space created by Aroma Shoe
Aroma shoes have the power to transform the atmosphere of a space by pouring natural scents into it. Have you ever taken a deep breath in the great outdoors and felt good? This is the effect of the phytoncide emitted from the trees and plants of the forest. At the Grand Panda Canyon, visitors are greeted by the refreshing fragrance of natural herbs, which makes it a refreshing place to sell and buy cards. The fresh air of the clean natural herbs also enhances the spirits of the trekkers, creating a relaxing yet pleasant environment in which to concentrate.

8. why is an ‘aroma shoe’ needed in a card shop?
Trekking card games often go on for a long time, and it is important to have a comfortable space to spend time in during these games. The aroma of the Aroma Shoe instantly changes unpleasant scents and the relaxing effect of natural herbs makes it easier to concentrate on the trading card game and naturally enjoy playing. It will also be chosen as an easy-to-follow card shop to visit with friends, as the pleasant aroma will make them feel comfortable.

9. a card shop in Akihabara, Grand Panda Canyon, has introduced…
Akihabara is home to a large number of game shops. In order to stay one step ahead of the competition in this highly competitive area, it is necessary to express the importance that you place on people in a way that visitors can feel. The Grand Panda Canyon is the first shop to introduce an aroma shoe, a new attempt to welcome customers with the scent of natural herbs as a ‘cosy place in a refreshing space’.

10. Will the card shop of the future also compete on ‘scent’? Possibilities of Aroma Shoe
In the card shop of the future, it will be commonplace to have odour care that does not leave you smelling bad. There is no reason for them to remain smelly. We feel that the smell of a card shop shows how the shop feels about its customers. The type of odour countermeasure used also shows how the shop feels towards its customers. You can sense the shop’s intentions by whether it feels that it should cover up with strong odours and put lots of toilet air fresheners, or whether it should use natural fragrances to make people who don’t like chemical smells feel comfortable, and create a space that offers a little natural comfort. The time has come when the presentation of a space appeals not merely to the visual and auditory senses, but also to the sense of smell. The clever use of scents can attract customers even more and further deepen the comfort of the card shop experience.
