Break from Kyoto: Japan's Game Centers - An oasis for all?

Happy New Year!

As I mentioned on my instagram (@jpinsider), I wanted to thank you all for your support in 2014!!
 In 2015, I plan to revamp jpinsider.com in order to continue to deliver updated, fun information to you :)

Before celebrating New Years Eve tonight, we visited the game center in Yokohama.
Game centers are a place to go to play UFO games, driving games, all sorts of games + photo booths. We also call them "Ge-sen", short for "Ge-mu Cen-tah".
Many teens, young professionals and even people older than that enjoy these places. It's a fun, casual place to go to when you're on a date, or with a friend.

Fun attractions for those tourists out there visiting Japan: The SUPER-power users of games such as Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, Pop'n Music....It's amazing. I recommend you to take a peek! 

Also note: If you are trying to get an item from the UFO catcher, ask one of the employees for hints & advice! He/she will help you get the item you want. I got my snack after 3 tries thanks to the employee! (See my proud photo below :) )
