Do you remember your childhood when playing was the most fun thing to do in the world? But let's be honest. Playing is still so much fun after we're grown up!
Boardgames for playing alone, with a friend or in a group, trying out nostalgic arcade games, or aiming at the target at an airsoft gun shooting range...there is so much to discover!
This time, Editor-in-Chief Marei visited different kinds of stores in Chiyoda Ward, which all share one thing, which is "the fun of playing"!
"Sugorokuya Jimbocho" is a specialty store that sells board games from all over the world.
One unique service of the shop is their game corner. Here, you can try out games recommended by the staff. Sometimes it’s nice to have the change to actually play a game because playing it makes you understand its appeal and if it’s the perfect fit for you.
Board games also make a nice gift. The store staff will help you choose a board game like a wine sommelier, so don't worry and dive into the world of board games!

“TARGET-1” is an airsoft gun shooting range located just halfway between JR Akihabara Station and JR Ochanomizu Station. For teir many foreign guests, the shooting range has price lists in English and Chinese available.
If you own an airgun (airsoft gun), you can bring it to the shooting range and use it there. Or you can also choose a plan including one type of airgun. But if you are new to airsoft sports, the by far best option is the special “Omakase Shooting Course Plan”. This plan is available on weekdays only, but you get to try every type of airgun you like while the pricing is also very reasonable. Of course, advanced players may also choose this plan.
The teacher will show beginners how to use the gear. We I visited the shooting range, my teacher used pictures to show me what I should see when aiming at the target, which was very helpful and easy to understand. When I aimed at the target and shot for the first time, it was a hit! What a wonderful feeling!“TARGET-1” is a big recommendation for groups of friends or couples, because you can play against each other. I found out that learning how to use air guns improves your concentration and muscles. These guys are heavy!
