Japan - Tokyo
Game Bar A-Button
By @giannisimone
If you spent the whole day hunting for retro games, you’ll end up hungry, thirsty AND feeling like actually playing some of that stuff. So what better idea than paying a visit to this off-the-beaten-path bar? A favorite among both fans and game industry insiders, the place is full of games and consoles waiting for you. They even have an impressive collection of classic controllers. The place is quite small so if you plan to go with a big group of people you’d better call in advance. Ah, and of course you must be over 20.

I’m a writer, teacher, and tour guide from Italy, based in Japan since 1992. I help travelers make sense of Tokyo, Yokohama, and the rest of Japan with practical insights on culture, neighborhoods, walking routes, and slow travel. I also cover otaku culture, and you’ll often find me scouting cemeteries, backstreets, and local eats so your trip runs smoothly and stays curious.
