GiGO Akihabara 3rd Building (RETRO:G)
GiGO 秋葉原3号館
Akihabara · near Akihabara (JR) / Suehiro-cho (Ginza Line) (3 min walk)
One of several GiGO arcade buildings in Akihabara (former Sega buildings); Building 3 leans retro and had ~6 Taiko no Tatsujin machines as of 2025. GiGO also operates additional Akihabara buildings nearby.
Why children love it: Taiko drum games, crane machines and a floor of retro cabinets — loud, colourful and hands-on.
