Gamer Culture: Images From Tokyo

Annette and I just landed back in Minneapolis from Tokyo last night, exhausted from nearly 24 hours of international travel. That being said, we’re already eager to go back. Why? Because for nerds like us, the greater Tokyo area is a wonderland of sights and sounds that match our interests.

We’ve already shared images from the Tokyo Game Show floor, but check out a gallery of our adventures around town below. You’ll find shots from Akihabara – where we stopped into Super Potato to grab some original Famicom games, and from the Dragon Quest bar in Roppongi. You’ll also see how gaming has infused every facet of Japanese culture – you can’t escape it even on the subway. Enjoy the photos!
