Japan or also known as the ‘sunrise’ country has various types of attractions and destinations. For those of you who have been to Japan, you should know about the existence of game arcades there.
Surely you will feel sad about this news because Tokyo Akihabara will lose one of the attractions there. It is understood SEGA Arcades will close operations on 30 August 2020.
The closure is because of no demand from the public and also the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic made it difficult for the gaming center to make a profit.
For your information, this SEGA Arcade has been open since 2003 and has become a hotspot for tourists especially backpackers. In the closing notice, SEGA Arcade thanked the fans for their support.
8月30日で閉店という、万世橋交差点角の第一半田ビルに入るセガ秋葉原2号館、現在は建物壁面に貼られた艦これアーケードの巨大広告で有名ですが、前身の秋葉原GiGO時代には『電脳戦機バーチャロン フォース』の等身大テムジンや、『CODE OF JOKER』の京極院沙夜の巨大広告も貼られてましたね。#akiba pic.twitter.com/OXJC7PUIkr
