Arcades in Hiroshima

Hiroshima, Chugoku has 11 arcades on the map. That's 11 arcades mapped around Hiroshima. Machine condition varies wildly between venues, so the one with the best-maintained cabinets wins regardless of size. Bring a friend — everything's better head-to-head, and most of the best cabinets are built for two.

This guide covers every arcade we could verify in and around Hiroshima (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include ラウンドワン and タイトーステーション, plus GiGO. If an arcade's missing from Hiroshima's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Arcade tips for Hiroshima

A few things worth knowing before you work through Hiroshima's arcades:

• Watch the regulars first at ラウンドワン. The high-score table tells you which machines are hot and who's worth watching. Fifteen minutes of watching teaches plenty.
• Eat before the big session at タイトーステーション. Arcade food is priced for captives. Eat properly beforehand and save the budget for games.
• The classics are cheapest. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Bar-arcades: pace yourself. Drinks and games mix well until they don't. The machines get harder exactly as you get worse at them.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Hiroshima — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new arcade in Hiroshima can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 11, or a arcade we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list machine lineups — they change too often. What we list is the where: real venues, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 11 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
