Maruhan Shinjuku Toho main floor

Built around maximum impact

Next to the Toho building in Kabukicho, this hall is all about scale. Everything is turned up: the screens, the colour, the soundtrack and the speed of the room.

First look

Big displays, rich colour and a soundtrack that meets you at the door. It is unmistakably a Kabukicho hall: bold, loud and very sure of itself.

Energy

The room runs at full power throughout the day. Lights pulse, cabinets announce their bonus modes, and the crowd moves quickly from row to row.

Machines

Expect the newest and most elaborate cabinets, many with oversized screens and moving parts. The floor works almost like a showroom for what modern machines can do.

Getting around

Despite the intensity, the main routes are wide and clearly marked, so finding your way remains simple even when the hall is crowded.

Who it suits

Visitors who want the full sensory version of pachinko and enjoy a packed, high-tempo room.

The lasting impression

Even a short stop leaves a mark. This is the kind of hall people still describe days after they have left it.

Worth knowing

Short visit, big impression

You do not need a whole afternoon here. A short walk along the rows, watching the displays and the crowd, is enough to understand why the hall draws so many people.
