[Reopening] Akihabara Gathering Place, a game café that had been closed due to a fire, reopened for business on Saturday, November 11!

Akihabara Gathering Place," which had been closed due to a fire that broke out in August 2023, reopened for business on Saturday, November 11, 2023.

Akihabara Gathering Place is located on Junk Street, a 7-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station, and is a long-established game café celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

A game café is a space where you can play board games, card games, table games, and portable games that are available in the store, with free drinks and a space to relax.

The board games and card games available in the store can be rented free of charge.

The restaurant also has relaxing sofas and private rooms suitable for table talk role-playing games (TRPG), in which players can play while conversing with each other.

Each seat is equipped with a power strip, and various types of chargers and monitors (32-inch and 19-inch) are available for rent, so you can play social games and digital games by bringing your own game console, software, and connection cables.

Free drinks have now resumed, although they were not available in time for the pre-opening that took place on November 3, when the restaurant reopened for business.

Pricing is flexible, depending on the number of people and style of play. Power supply and PC monitors are available, so you can bring your own PC to work or play games.

When this long-established game café, which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, was involved in a fire, I felt uneasy as an Akiba resident, wondering if the store would disappear as it was, but I am very happy to see it back in good health.

Some people may think that they need to play a game when they hear "game café," but it is also a good place to take a break when you are tired from strolling around Akiba, or when you want to buy some Trekkies and open them as soon as possible.

If you have been curious about the store since you saw the sign, why not take this opportunity to stop by?
