    他のラウンドワンと同じく普通にあそべます。しかし、プライズゲーム(yfoキャチャーなどのこと)だけは最悪です。まず取れない(物理的に取れない台あり)。そして店員の対応も悪い。自分はよくゲーセンやラウンドワンに行くんですがかなり下のほうです。

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
