Tokyo: 1-Chome Playland – Get your geek on

1-Chome Playland, Tokyo

*Geek post warning*

Have you seen the movie Wreck-It Ralph? Do you remember in the beginning of the movie, when Ralph is the only one not invited to the party (they even invited Pac-Man!)? It broke my heart…

I’ll not go further into that movie ( I think it’s actually meant for kids?), but if you like Wreck-It Ralph, then I’m sure you’ll love 1-Chome Playland on the 4th floor in Decks’ Seaside Mall in Tokyo.

I found this place by coincidence, when I was out exploring the man-made island Odaiba in Tokyo Bay. I was looking for a place to have lunch, but instead I found this wonderful floor inside the mall, dedicated to old arcade games and Tokyo kitsch in general.

All the games are fully functional and I think I spent over an hour, gaming my way through 2D worlds with pixelated monsters. Wii and PlayStation in all honor, but there’s really something special about these tantalizing, old machines.

Stepping into 1-Chome Playland is like entering a time warp, and I could easily have spent days in this enchanting paradise for geeks. If I was living in Tokyo, I would come here every week to pet the machines and feed them all my 100JPY coins.

Tokyo is one of my favorite cities in Asia, and a place I keep coming back to. It’s the kind of city that never feels finished. There’s always a new restaurant to try, a different neighborhood to explore, another tiny café tucked away on a side street.What I love most is the mix of modern and traditional. You can start your day at a centuries old temple and end it in a sleek high rise with floor to ceiling views. In between, there’s ramen in Shinjuku, sushi in Ginza, yakitori in a narrow alley, and pastries in Daikanyama that rival anything in Paris.Tokyo is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own vibe, and I plan most of my days around what and where to eat next. I blog about my favorite restaurants, cafes, markets, and areas to explore. The places I go back to, and the ones I think you shouldn’t miss.
