You will see a game arcade in the town of Tokyo at least once. That is one of entertainment spots Japan is proud of, which is called Game Center (Gecen) in Japan. I’m introducing a typical game: Crane Game (Japanese call it UFO Catcher.) If you make it, you can get a variety of things such as snacks, model figures and soft toys of animation characters. The prizes include trendy goods, for instance Pokemon items now.

One play usually needs a JPY100 coin or 2, but you can’t guess how many times you have to play the game to get items. Nevertheless, many of the prizes have the value for multiple plays.
Tips for beginners
- Try some times or more
It is very difficult even for MASTER at crane games to get the item at the first try. So keep trying as far as your budget allows.
2. Ask the staff to move the item you want to the easy place to get
Perhaps, they help you to get it!
3. Change the target
It is also important to give up at a certain point. In that case, how about changing your target or the type of the game itself?
There is another significant point: Don’t think it would be more economical to directly buy it after spending more money playing the crane game. You could ENJOY the game itself!
