This is just the latest Sega arcade to close in Tokyo, with one of Akihabara’s own iconic Sega arcades closing last August.
The Twitter account for Sega Ikebukuro GiGO, one of the most iconic buildings on Sunshine Street in the heart of downtown Ikebukuro, revealed yesterday that it will be closing up shop on September 20, 2021.
The Ikebukuro Sega arcade was most well-known for having collaborations with anime projects and series popular with female audiences, with the Kuroko’s Basketball and Mr. Osomatsu franchises seeing regular collaborations with the arcade.
