What other travelers are saying about Taito Game Station Shinjuku
As far as arcades, I have vastly enjoyed the Round One locations in Japan and thought that any of the ones I visited were better than this arcade. The claw machines were more expensive per play than Round One, most of the floors felt overly cramped, and the whole place above the first floor had a rather off putting scent. It is very convenient to Shinjuku Station though if you are in the area and really want to stop by.
If you are into claw and what they call metal games, this is the place. Like 4 floors of games and top is a photo sticker maker. Looks like it might be just for girls. Lots of action, games are between $100-400jpy. Claws are pretty weak, though. Few times I had a good scoop only to have it drop once it got to the top and shook. Lots to choose from, all kinds of stuffed animals, Manga, One Piece, Dragonball and apparently Tom and Jerry are still a thing here.
This is a game haven for those who love the claw machines like My daughter’s! Personally it was a bit too Loud and overwhelming for me so I went down to the bar area and waited it out in a relaxed atmosphere with a beer. Overall it was a win win!
One of the biggest and busiest amusement cares in Shinjuku. There are 6 levels full of all types of games from claw machines and other prize machines that have a pretty high level of difficulty, there are fighting games, rhythm games, photo booths for sticker photos, there’s even gatchapon. The place is kept really clean, there are restrooms on some of the levels and vending machines for those who get thirsty after playing too many games. It’s really loud too!
