E-Sports Cafe — Attraction in Tokyo

For my English speakers out there. This place is THE place to go for anything relating to gaming on the PC. It's very easy to sign up, and the staff there are super helpful. I go here almost daily and spent LOTS of time here. You'll have no issues coming here if you don't speak any japanese.

You can install any game on the pc if it isn't already on it. Sign in through steam and other various platforms. The PC specs are amazing, and they have two different types. Normal and High spec PCs.

First, you sign up and enter your phone number and what games you plan to play. The phone number you give them doesn't have to be japanese, and it's what you'll use to log in to the computers and a password you make. You'll also use that phone number whenever you buy time, so be prepared to type it in!

You then purchase time, and I usually do 7.5 hours for ¥2200 or the 21-hour option for ¥5500. You can do lower or higher hours, but those are the ones I choose personally. When you buy time, the higher spec PC will take more of your time. For example, the 21 hour options is for higher spec PCs, but normal spec will get 24 hours if I remember correctly.

There are two floors and lots of computers, but if you plan to go on a weekend it may be slightly difficult to find an open pc.

You can also bring your own stuff like keyboards or headsets, mouses, fighting controllers, etc.

They also have numerous vending machines and snacks you can purchase that are actually a bit cheaper than the convenience store. There is also a McDonald's across the street that closes at 10pm. You can also leave and come back during your time there.

This place is pretty much one of the best, if not the best PC cafe...

Visited on 21st Feb 2024 At first I went to level 4, but the entrance is actually on level 6. They have a sign on level 4 which redirects you to go to level 6. The sign up process to make an account is easy at the reception as a foreigner. I gave them my passport and they created an account at no cost. For 3 hours of play, it only cost ¥1100 and you can top up while playing by going to the reception desk. To turn the PC on, you press the circle with blue light (see in my picture, in the middle on the far right). If you are unsure you can ask them at the reception desk, they are helpful. The PC specs were really good, I played valorant and was able to get a stable 300+ FPS and all the PCs had a mechanical keyboard and good quality mouse. The only negative I would say is the headphones that were provided were not noise cancelling (but I think that's asking for too much at a PC cafe haha) so I could hear the background noise of other gamers talking/shouting. Other than that, the experience was good! Would definitely go back there again...

It is a nice place to play games. I have talked to helpful staff who kindly explained the process and spent over 30 hours here in one week.

However there is a chubby boy who works on Friday morning who has a terrible attitude. I just finished playing for 8 hours and logged out. I was talking to a friend while packing up my belongings which will take less than 5 minutes. He stood next to me crossing his arms and had a rude behaviour. He did not even ask with a kind tone for the first time. I tried to talk to him, however, he just called me an idiot and made funny gestures.

Maybe it is because he is racist to foreigners? After three months in Japan, it is my first time having an issue with service staff.

He is abusing his power, because he is having an unhappy life. I hope he can get some guidance...
