I'd guess either a cinema or a video game parlour.

The prize, Audry, will be a free round of whatever drink you choose with which to toast your health (and intelligence). The prize has to be received in Tokyo, though.

What a great on-line Puzzle game.
*** Pachinko Game Centre ***
The hanging "Flags" already telling the answer.
Pachinko ...... a mixture of pinball and slot machine.
Lovely colourful Ads, great capture, well done!

Congratulations, Mchk (or should I call you 2000?).
Yes, it's a Pachinko parlor--a huge one. Another example of the incongrous in Japan! I mean, can you imagine anywhere else in the world where they'd call a place like that Gaia?

No idea, Roger!
It looks like a cinema to me!
Best regards, Chris
P.S. Though on second thoughts, (he says, after reading the comments!), it could be a Pachinko Parlour!!! ;o)

Yes indeed, Chris. You read right. I'll change the "about" to reflect this... My donor's privileges run out today, but I will be renewing them just as soon as the new site goes on line... It does look like a cinema, though, I agree. The one thing it DOESN'T look like is the general run of Pachinko Parlour.

It is intriguing to see the quite different style of advertising from here. Certainly very colourful. I am learning a lot about your home through your shots.
