How to find it

On the west pavement of Chuo-dori, 20-30 m south of Sofmap AKIBA Amusement-kan: a white nine-floor building (B1F-8F), three minutes from the JR Akihabara Denkigai Exit, with Tokyo Radio Depart immediately behind it to the west. It was GiGO Akihabara No.1 until August 2025.

Tips

  • The 58 Gundam EXVS2 Infinite Boost cabinets on B1F and the 8F BEMANI STUDIO take time-slot bookings through the official reservation site (airrsv); the menu only opens during a booking period.
  • Crane games run 1F-2F for plush and goods and 3F-4F for figures; the photo spots where you shoot with your prize are on 2F and 3F.
  • Rhythm games are split: 6F has Taiko no Tatsujin, CHUNITHM, maimai and Ongeki, 7F has beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX.
  • Open 10:00-24:00 all year, but payment methods and tax-free status are not stated on the official page, so bring coins and cash.
