Having Fun at the Game Center!

    Fukuoka Motor show 2014 Google Bookmarks
    Often referred to as the gateway to Kyushu, JR Hakata Station is a place where everyday a lot of people come and go. With all the shopping districts and places to eat, not only is it convenient but also a great place to do a bit of sightseeing. This time I was able to visit Hakata district’s one of the largest game centers, “namco Hakata Bus Terminal Branch” which is right next to the Hakata station. I had a lot of fun!

    The latest photo booth, "PLATINUM BALANCE" try-out!

    In Korean game centers at most we will have about 5 photo booths but here in Japan there are so many photo booths and they’re all different types. You can choose the booth you like best and take a bunch of pictures and I think that’s amazing. Even by just taking one picture, I feel you’ve made the trip all the more memorable just in doing that. “PLATINUM BALANCE!” was the newest machine available and I took a pass at it. PLATNIUM BLANACE is all about fixing blemishes rather than covering them up! I really like how the pictures came out!

    I had a go at the popular music game "Taiko no Tatsujin (The Drum-master)"!

    I tried a lot of different games at the game center. Among those that I tried was the "Taiko no Tatsujin," which is also popular in Korea. Even if you’re a complete music game beginner it’s something you can play casually. There are a lot of genres of music and many different levels to choose from. It was a lot of fun.

    I want to go again!

    I also tried the crane games but it was so difficult! (lol) I kept at it while getting advice and help from everyone and eventually managed to get one prize. I think I was really lucky! I really enjoyed it!
