About

SEGA's red-signed arcades defined Akihabara for decades; after the GENDA takeover they became GiGO, and Building 1 closed in August 2025. Building 3, just off Chuo-dori, carries on the tradition: a ground floor of UFO catchers with prize figures, upper floors of rhythm and card games, a purikura corner, rotating anime collaboration cafés and the RETRO:G floor of classic games. It's smaller and calmer than the old flagship but has the same 'Akiba arcade' energy.
