👍 The price for 4 hours is 1000 yen. There is a smoking and non-smoking section. It's separated enough but you might still be able to smell the smoke. I never ran into any issues with waiting for a computer, but I can see how it could be full. Front desk could speak a little bit of English but really... People often mention hours, time, good, play, games, staff, smoke,

    If you want to have a lot of fun with your friends online or just chill and play some games this a great place to come. Prices are cheap and the computers are top notch. 10/10 recommend!

I never ran into any issues with waiting for a computer, but I can see how it could be full. Front desk could speak a little bit of English but really tried to help when I had problems. Some computers are better than others and peripherals are different on each computer. Don't forget to change the monitor to a higher hz. Internet is really fast in case you need to download a game. Many popular games are already downloaded.

    My parents took me to Japan when i didnt even want to so I went to dis gaming area and had a BLAST. Other than the toilet that I obliterated, which clogged, I believe this cafe is one of the best. They let me smoke my malboro reds wherever I wanted and they let me watch tiktok while I played. Freaking awesome and sweet gaming cafe. I played a hype nite (Fortnite competitive tournament - serious, big event) here and lets just say it was a pretty high placement! Awesome and sweet cafe, my condolences for the bathroom.

    Signups process is simple and even with limited Japanese the staff were very helpful in the bits of English exchange. You can definitely tell some of the gear has been well loved but the system specs and monitors are more than serviceable. Location is great, right outside the station and there's plenty of food nearby and a Donki too. Only negative is that it can get a little too warm in there even with the AC they have running, and sometimes there's some residual smoke smells leaking in.

    I really like this cafe! Great 120 Hz+ monitors and strong specs for smooth HD gaming. Headphones sound good. Mechanical keyboards. I got addicted to Overwatch again going here. 😅 You can use Google Translate (camera button in app) to deciper Japanese menus and stuff. Some of the staff speak really good English too. Snacks and energy drinks available. Not too expensive! Open 24 hours! It does get very busy during after-school hours. Best to go on weekday mornings, afternoons, and late at night

    The atmosphere inside is nice and they offer very affordable price for gaming. They have 2 types of setup with normal and high spec setup. The normal one was enough for me. They also have food and drink that you can buy directly inside.

    This was an awesome experience. The price is really fair, the wait was reasonable, and they had all the major esports games. The staff spoke enough English to get by, and it appeared that some spoke Korean too (it is in Koreatown, after all). I came here specifically to play Overwatch and ended up staying for the full 4 hours. The internet is blazing fast and I had only 80ms latency to the nearest Americas servers (around 10ms latency to Asia server). The peripherals felt good and the PC was snappy. 100% recommended, just make sure you arrive outside of peak hours (evenings from 19:00) to avoid a long wait.

    The Nvidia drivers are only updated once a month. This means that if you want to play a recently released game, you will have a problem because each time you update the drivers manually, they will be reset again on next time you visit to the old version. Also, it doesn't save your language on your log in, even on the same PC, so if you don't want everything in Japanese, it will be each time you visit.

    Cool place. The smoking room inside is supposed to keep smoke in but the whole place still smells like smoke. I wish they would just make them smoke outside. The price is pretty bad if you're doing a short amount of time but it is good price once you go to 50 hours or more.

    Very good. Staff are super helpful if you need anything and the prices are pretty much unbeatable for what I've tried and seen online. High spec PC and 144+ monitors are on every station as far as I can tell. Be careful if you don't like the smell of tabaco, as the non-smoking area does smell a little of cigarette. Second time I went there I charged my account with 50 hours straight up, because I know I will keep returning for a long time.

    We were on vacation to Japan with zero language skills and we were able to speak to the staff so we could play games, the PCs and peripherals were great. Next time I’m in Japan I’ll be back.

    Tried 7 (7!!!!!) computers to play one FTP game and it crashed every time. When I went to the front desk to report the problem, the guy told me to call the game company (like they can do anything). Useless customer support. Do NOT come here

  • 5/5 Kim V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great prices and specs. Designated smoking area. Plenty of space but might be hard to sit with ask your friends if you're going with more than 1 person.

    sometimes it can be very stuffy for us, they don’t clean up after visitors and don’t look after the toilet. also they have problems with monitors

  • 4/5 Luke Curry (. 2 years ago on Google
    The pcs are good and the staff is bilingual and very helpful, it's pretty dirty though which can be expected with all the sweaty nerds but just use the sanitary wipes and you should be okay

  • 5/5 Oscar B. 7 months ago on Google
    You need password or drivers license or some ID. Minimum charge is 1100 yen, for that you get about three hours. Clean, nice computers, nice staff.

  • 1/5 Hiro I. 7 months ago on Google
    Everything is nasty, bring your own peripherals. Don't expect games to run well, League ran at 40FPS at times on the regular PC's.

  • 5/5 Sydnee W. 6 months ago on Google
    Went here a few times to play some OW. Prices are pretty cheap and the place is really clean. Also has few snacks and drinks there to purchase

    If you're an english speaker, this place is very easy. Staff helpful and will communicate with google translate if needed. Just go to front desk and fill out a form with your phone number & create a password. Pay like $8 USD for about 3 hours, pick any computer you want, sign in, and your good to go. Good hardware and good vibes

    One of the best internet cafes I've ever been to (in multiple countries). Lovely staff, amazing facilities and very reasonably priced.
