It is sometimes said that travel in Japan has few nighttime activities, but if you have the time, one thing I would like for you to enjoy is going to an arcade.
The arcades you see in shopping areas and downtown areas have a variety of games, including token games, traditional arcade games, and photo printing booths, but the most popular are crane games.
In a crane game, you push a button to control a claw crane and try to get candy, stuffed animals, or other prizes. One play is usually around 100 or 200 yen.
Foreigners who like Japanese anime and characters are known to visit anime goods shops in places like Tokyo’s Akihabara or Nihonbashi in Osaka, but actually a key characteristic of the crane games in arcades is that they often contain limited edition prizes not found in other shops. There is sure to be an arcade somewhere near the hotel you are saying. Arcades stay open until around 10 or 11, so an arcade is a recommended way to have a good time after dinner. Just looking around the Arcade to see what they have is fun. It is not so easy to get prizes using a crane game. Before you know it you’ll find yourself putting down 100 yen coins one after another, so please choose a budget beforehand and play responsibly.
