Tsukishima, Tokyo is one of the few areas of the city center that survived the WWII air raids. Many of its traditional wooden houses and shops remain intact. However, in recent years the demands of modern safety standards have made redevelopment in the area necessary. We've reimagined this pachinko facility with an eye towards retaining vintage charm. In contrast to the garish facades common amongst gaming facilities, we've installed traditional Japanese wooden lattices and artificial rock walls. Combining modern entertainment with traditional designs appeals to both tourists and locals.
