Arcade "Aso:Viba" - Ebisu, Tokyo

Ebisu city, located 2mins from Shibuya station, prides itself as being the forerunner in fashion and high end goods in Tokyo. Electronics retailers and even convenience stores are few and far between with land prices being sky-high, so finding an arcade around the way seemed pretty implausible.

Despite holding just two floors, Aso:Viba supplies everything you'd expect from an arcade - DDR, taiko, a bunch of card and fight games, all up to date. Spacious and (surprisingly) nonsmoking might be a couple of reasons they've been able to weather the recent collapse of game centers around Tokyo. 

It's a small space but they make excellent use of it, and overall it's just kinda dope to find a place like this able to survive when just a few mins down the road major old school game centers are dropping like flys.
