@chrisandflo: ‼️ ATTENTION GAMERS Add Akihabara to your Tokyo itinerary immediately, but don’t walk in unprepared. 🛑 🕹️ Here are the arcade cheat codes we wish we knew before going: 1️⃣ The "Sumimasen" Hack: Stuck on a claw machine? Don't just keep wasting yen! Ask the staff for help (say "sumimasen"). If they see you've been trying, they will often open the glass and move the prize to an easy winning spot. 🧸 2️⃣ Arcades are vertical: Ground floors are mostly claw machines. Take the escalators up to find the retro fighters, racing sims, and hardcore rhythm games. 3️⃣ Tap to Play: Ditch the heavy coins. Load up your digital Suica or Pasmo transit card on your phone and just tap the machines to play. Tag your Player 2 who needs to see this! 👾👇 #gamers #akihabara #japantravel
