Outside several stores in Shenmue you'll find small gashopon machines - Capsule Toy dispensers that give you a little plastic toy or figure in exchange for ¥100. They don't serve much purpose in the grand scheme of the game, but there's some pretty cool trinkets to be had. There are six machines total.

Capsule Toys are first seen at Sakuragaoka right in front of the Abe Store. The two machines are from the Virtua Fighter and Sonic The Fighters games. Also if Ryo goes inside the Abe Store and purchases chocolate, caramel, or potato chips (¥120 ea.), he can enter a raffle, which is called Ichiban Kuji (一番くじ Ichiban kuji) in Japan and could win rare capsule toys such as a Gold or Silver Dural from Virtua Fighter, but the chances of winning are very low.

Ryo can also find capsule toys in front of You Arcade in Dobuita. The two machines are Excite Sega World (featuring various Sega characters such as Alex Kidd, Opa-Opa, the Bonanza Brothers and NiGHTS) and Virtua Figher Kids machines. Also at You Arcade, if Ryo scores a high enough score at the games there (¥100 per game), he will receive a miniature toy version of the arcade cabinet he played. Also when playing Hang On and Space Harrier, if he clears each game with one credit, he will receive certificates for each of the two he clears, with the manager Yuji Nito's face on them, and along with that, the miniature toy version of the game cabinets of the game he cleared for earning a high enough score. If Ryo goes to the Tomato Convenience Store in Dobuita and wins fourth prize at the raffle by purchasing the same items available to try the raffle at the Abe Store or a cassette tape (¥300 ea.) he can get rare capsule toys. The choices are Super Sonic, Metal Sonic, Hot Dog Truck, or B.B. Ultra.

Also when Ryo goes to the harbor lounge in the New Yokosuka Harbor District, there is a harbor-themed machine, the same Excite Sega World machine from Dobuita, and a vehicle-themed machine featuring toys of the various vehicles seen in the game and Hang On. Also the Tomato Convenience Store 4th prize options at the harbor are different than the prizes at Dobuita. The options are Forklift Red, Forklift Blue, Ferry and Crane. Ryo can also earn Forklift toys when he enters the Forklift race at his job at the harbor, and depending on what place he came in the race, he earns a different toy. For example if he wins 1st place, he will receive a forklift with the #1 on the side.
And when connected online with the Shenmue Passport disc, Ryo could trade prizes from the slot house such as Cherry or Mini Jukebox for rare capsule toys of animals

NOTE - I've categorized these lists by each individual machine, so that you
can ensure that you've gotten each toy from each machine. I've also
indicated the color of the machine, so you don't get confused or something
else of the sort. It's taken me a lot of time to research this, but I'm
pretty confident that I've purchased every capsule toy in the game.

There are two machines in Sakuragaoka right outside of the Abe Store - a [b[u]]Green[/u] [/b]"SEGA" one and a Yellow "Virtua Fighter" one.

Wll in this location there are three Capsule machines in the Harbor Lounge, one of which will give you some fairly intricate (but possibly boring) harbor-area vehicles to collect. The harbor models give you a chance to examine the in-game models close-up.
