Esso Gas Station

The Esso Gas Station is a gas station in Shibukawa City, Gunma. It is owned by Yuichi Tachibana. From First Stage to Extra Stage it was referred to as "GS", and from Third Stage onwards it was parodied as "Essa". In the Live Action film it is a Eneos station.

It sits near a large apartment building/hotel and is next to a highway. Despite the assumption the real life gas station is somewhere in Gunma, it’s actually located in Tokyo. Since 2019, the real gas station has been repurposed into an Eneos gas station.

Esso is an American company founded in 1912. The company began operating in Japan in 1962.

The station features a total of six gas pumps, each with their respectable levels of octane fuels. Inside the gas station is a desk, a small couch, and a TV. There are also several vending machines located on the premises. Adjacent to the main building is an attached service garage where cars are sometimes parked. The gas station also features a car wash in which the car is left stationary and the washing superstructure moves around it independently.

Esso employees wear a uniform that changes throughout the different stages of the show. Overall, it generally consists of a button shirt, a hat, khaki style pants, a bow tie, and black shoes.
