3.Game center
A game center is a place where various game machines are installed and you can play by inserting money when using the game machines. Also called a game center.
The game center has game machines that can be played by one person or multiple people, so if you want to play games, we recommend them.
Generally, it costs around 100 to 500 yen to use a game machine, so you will need to have 100 yen coins available. However, you can play without any problems even if you don't have 100 yen coins and only have bills. This is because the game center also has a currency exchange machine. If you have 500 yen coins, 1,000 yen bills, 5,000 yen bills, or 10,000 yen bills, you can exchange them for 100 yen coins. However, if you insert a 10,000 yen bill, for example, you will get 5 100 yen or 10 100 yen, and the rest will come out as change. In other words, don't worry, a 10,000 yen bill will not become 100 100 yen coins.
Once you have prepared your 100 yen coins, you can start playing the game. But which game console should you choose?
There are many types of game machines, but the most commonly seen ones are crane games, video games, music games, and pre-made machines.
A crane game (or UFO catcher) is an arcade game where you collect prizes by lifting them up with a crane. Prizes include stuffed animals, figurines, cushions, and sweets. Basically, only one person can play on a crane game machine, but you can have fun and support each other even if you are with friends. However, there is a risk of spending too much money if you are not able to raise the bar well, so we recommend that you set an upper limit on how much you can spend before playing.
Video games allow you to play games similar to home game consoles. Examples include fighting games, racing games, and shooting games. The game can be played by one person or by multiple people.
Music games (music games, rhythm games) are games where you take actions in time with music. Examples of actions include pressing a button, hitting a drum, etc., and taking steps. A common goal in music games is to get a high score, so you can even compete with your friends for higher scores.
Puri machine (print sticker machine, Purikura) is a machine that can create instant photos as stickers. A unique feature of print machines is that you can edit and process the photos yourself before they are printed. Also, since there are basically two editing screens, you can edit with your friends at the same time. The types of editing you can do will vary depending on the printer, but you can create unique designs by changing the background, adding frames, text, and stamps, and using makeup functions. Recommended as a commemorative photo with friends.
There are various game consoles other than those listed above, so you can have fun playing alone or with friends.
