Arcades are a thing of the past in most of the west but still quite alive in Japan, though mostly as modern facilities with digital games. But how did arcades look 50-100 years ago?
In some places you can see for yourself. The Dagashiya Game Museum is exactly such a place, hidden away right next to a temple.
It functions as a candy shop as well as a Showa-era arcade. All machines work on either 10 yen coins or custom tokens, both of which can be exchanged at the counter.
