TOKYO Arcades. (Pic heavy.)

[Olisan]

Does someone know where is the Game-in Ebisen exactly (in Ekoda station on Seibu Ikebukuro line)?

[Animaitor]

Correct. Take the Seibu Ikebukuro that leaves from Ikebukuro station. Ekoda is the third stop and once in that station, take the south exit (it has 2 exists, be careful).

Google maps coordinate is: 35.736564,139.672466

Here is a map I made a while ago for a Spanish friend.



Game in Ebisen is in the second floor. In the street floor there used to be a real state shop with flags in the side walk.

Let us know is you find it and if so how did you like it ;D

[Olisan]

Perfect! Very thanks.

Loving these pics! I was in Tokyo back in 2007, but was out of the gaming scene at the time (I know, what was I on?!) so I passed up the chance to visit all the legendary arcades. I need to rectify that ASAP...

[cRacKh0rN]

Some great pics! Egret's are obviously the machine of choice in Tokyo then
Did you see any Ponies?
