Day 15 – Den Den Town

I forgot to mention I had room service last night! Had the most delicious bacon pizza. Anyhow, we didn’t really do much today. We went to Den Den Town (more electronics and toys), and what seemed to be an old entertainment district. Then we went and had some rather average ramen at a little restaurant, then went and visited some video game arcades as well as Japanese slot machines (or Pachinko) which was an experience. The pachinko rooms are so incredibly loud, and for, say, 10 yen you will be given 10 balls to put in the machine, then they go down and hopefully you win more depending on where they end up.

 Den Den Town... I can see forever!

 A radio tower I think, in the old entertainment district


 A little shrine down a side street

 Enter for so-so ramen

 Don't know where this is

 
A catchy tune that seemed to follow us around from store to store

 
 PACHINKO!!!!!!!!!!!
