Arcade "Vortex" - Roppongi, Tokyo
4 months back the last arcade in Roppongi shut down. It truly blows to see a place with potential just boarded up.
Being located on the outskirts of a red light district might sound like a detriment to a game center, but actually some of the most successful indie places have that in common. Often hosts, hostesses take to the arcades before, after and during catering hours to kill time.
Signs read:
"December 27th 2013, Game Center operations will stop."
"Roppongi has become a town without a Game Center."
"Thank you for 18 years."

Arcade "SEGA", Yoyogi
Great hangout one station on from Shinjuku.
Located just a few minutes out of Shinjuku central makes this an awesome little place to beef up on your gaming skills - very few competitive players here means you'll be able to keep throwing coins down till you master that combo.
