Wow! They all look like just out of the box. Superb.

Awesome place. Went last year.
Was so impressed I travelled from Kyoto to go again the next day.
They have such a great range, both by decade and manufacturer. Cheap too!
Will be going back again this year hopefully.
I disagree pinball is making a comeback in Japan. Both days I visited there was only a handful of customers, and they were US travellers & expats. I think the local market is pretty dead.

Noticed the same when I went there. Majority were European origin players.
The machines really need a redemption/payout option addon since Pachinko "gambling" machines are the big drawcard over there with the local populace.

Yep, you're spot on there.
