Tokyo Joypolis
Joypolis isn't just an arcade, it's a colourful theme park complete with rides, a haunted house and a rollercoaster. There are arcade games, of course, but also virtual reality attractions and short 3D movies. One standout is Initial D Arcade Stage 4, which features life-sized versions of iconic Japanese cars for virtual racing. Many of the attractions are on the expensive side – a ride on the spinning rollercoaster is around £5. Admission is around £4.50 adults, £2.50 children, and there are passports available: around £30 adults, and around £27 under-15s.
