If you love arcade games or pinball I HIGHLY recommend heading to The Silver Ball Planet in Namba. I had so much fun there and racked up maybe 10 hours of playing. The most expensive machine is ¥100 and older ones ¥50-¥10.
I honestly regret not doing a whole day here or doing their end of month tournament (forgot about it and saw it the day I booked for Tokyo). It is at the top of my list for next trip to Tokyo.
The range of machines and how well they are maintained is also extremely impressive. Considering that their more expensive machines are worth $16000AUD them having 126 machines is something I’ve never seen before. Best I’ve seen in Australia is maybe 22 machines at $4 a game.
If you haven’t checked it out definitely do! Give each machine a few tries and understand how to get multi balls and jackpots. After that free games are very common and pretty easy high schools. At the time of writing I got the Terminator 3 grand champion score 😎. A few hours of fun cost me less than ¥2000 and often sub ¥1000
I recommend giving them a follow too on insta and giving some love . From the after tournament post’s text it really looks like a man who loves pinball and wants to share that love running it 🥺.
