Forums - Hard Drop - Tetris Community _ General _ Visiting Japan: Where to play Tetris in arcades and find Tetris culture?

Posted by: msodrew Mar 13 2019, 08:19 AM

I'll be visiting Japan for the final two weeks of March. I'm no expert, but this will be my 3rd time visiting. What's cool is I'll have some downtime luxury half the days...to fill with Tetris.

Could anyone speak on Japan? I'd love to know:

What are the best arcades to play tetris in Tokyo? (single player TGM2-3 and garbage-based competitive)
Vintage arcade museum / collections / cabinet sales, etc.
Tetris meet up. Do those exist in Japan? I know the culture is notoriously shy to foreigners.

I think you can play TGM 2 and 3 at "Hey" (Hirose Entertainment Yard) in Akihabara. https://www.google.co.jp/maps/place/HEY+(Hirose+Entertainment+Yard)+Taito/@35.6989026,139.7709318,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x60188c1d0fa74495:0x5d25013b2f9319a4!8m2!3d35.699024!4d139.771062?hl=en
