*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.

Hi, I'm Sanne. Welcome to Mitzie Mee, my food and travel blog, with a special love for New York City. Food has always been at the heart of the way I travel. I love discovering local restaurants, neighborhood cafes, street food stalls, and recipes. On Mitzie Mee, I share the places I love, along with travel guides, recipes, and tips to help you make the most of your own adventures. Before becoming a full-time blogger, I spent years working in the travel industry. I started as a tour rep in Greece and Spain, worked eight years as cabin crew, earned my commercial pilot license, and flew as an airline pilot out of Denmark and Sweden. These days, I travel the world with my fiancé Steve, always looking for memorable food experiences and places worth sharing. Everything you see on Mitzie Mee is based on my own travels, and I hope it inspires your next trip, your next meal, or both.

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Welcome to my Tokyo blog. Tokyo is one of those cities I never get tired of. I've been back many times over the years, and every visit leaves me with a longer list of places I want to try next time. For me, Tokyo has always been about the food. It's the city where I'll happily get up early for a sushi breakfast, where some of the best meals are served at tiny ramen counters with barely enough seats for a handful of people, and where I can spend hours wandering from one café to the next without any real plan. What keeps drawing me back, though, is the atmosphere. Tokyo somehow manages to feel calm and intense at the same time. You can stroll through quiet residential streets lined with small shops and neighborhood cafés, then suddenly find yourself in the middle of Shibuya, surrounded by flashing signs, crowds, and nonstop energy. Those contrasts are part of what makes the city so special, and no matter how often I visit, I always come across somewhere new. On my Tokyo blog, I've gathered the places I've genuinely enjoyed. Restaurants I'd recommend to friends, cafés worth making a detour for, neighborhoods I love exploring, and hotels I'd stay at again. Whether you're planning your first trip to Tokyo or your fifth, I hope you'll find plenty of inspiration, along with practical tips to help you make the most of your visit.
