Joy Land Sapporo Tanukikoji — Local services in Sapporo

It's a fairly small arcade in the Tankukikoji area.

By small I mean, you can walk around the entire arcade in one minute.

There's a pretty limited set of UFO catchers here but the prizes can be enticing depending on what you're into. I got a Rilakumma here for my sister and there were quite a few figurine UFO catchers, so if that's your thing, go for it.

I do like that the staff here were very helpful, even though I couldn't speak Japanese. It's perfectly fine to ask them to reset a machine if you feel the position is too awkward. Definitely one of the friendlier places...

A small but fun arcade with a lot of claw games, ball toss, and other skill games to win prizes. I think several of the games here are much more fair and reasonable to win. I got a prize the 2 times I visited, each time spending just between 2000-3000 yen. There's staff available at the counter, and one even offered me a prize bag to carry my reward. Very nice place, I'd recommend visiting this Joy...

Skill machines are decent. Staff is friendly and helpful. Ask when you are struggling or you are wasting money for the skill games. Spent about 9000 yen for 3 prizes. Cheaper to buy directly but is fun to play. I would skip the claw machines here and stick to...
