How to find it

Two minutes from the JR Akihabara Denkigai Exit: cross Chuo-dori and walk north along the west sidewalk to the building with the huge orange 'Hey' sign (Melonbooks 1st Store is in its basement). Enter on the 1F crane-game floor and take the stairs or the elevator up to 2F-4F.

Tips

  • The store takes cashless payment, but many 2F-3F video cabinets are 100-yen coin-only, so carry coins
  • The 2F shmup corner's cabinet layout changes often; the official X account (@Taito_Hey) posts the changes
  • Some cabinets on 2F-4F are Taito's live-stream units, so your play is broadcast on YouTube and Niconico
  • Hey2, a crane-game-only second store, opened 2026-08-08 next door at 1-11-12 Sotokanda, Hirose HQ Bldg No.2 1F (10:00-23:30)
