Game Boy Mod Workshop in Akihabara, Tokyo

Absolutely amazing experience at Gameboy Mod Workshop at Akihabara, Tokyo in Tokyo! The staff were super friendly, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about retro gaming. They made the whole process fun and easy to follow, whether you’re a hardcore Game Boy fan or just getting into retro gaming. Loved being able to customise and build my own Game Boy — such a unique experience and an awesome souvenir to take home. The attention to detail and care they put into the workshop was next level. If you’re visiting Tokyo and love retro games, I highly recommend checking this place out. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip! 🎮🔥

We did this activity on our first trip to Tokyo and WOW! We were absolutely blown away! this was such an incredible experience! As Gameboy kids growing up, this was such a wonderful nostalgic thing for us to do! Making a custom gameboy that you get to take back home with you is such a unique experience and great way to commemorate a visit to the place where it all started! Not to mention, the customer service is phenomenal - the hosts were so kind and helpful. Don’t even think about it - just book it! You NEED to do this and you won’t regret it!

Taichi and Hiroto were fantastic! I can’t express how much fun and how helpful they were throughout the whole process! They were patient and kept things light and casual. I had zero prior experience with this activity and came away with a Gameboy I can’t wait to play and show off. Thank you both SO much!!

Absolutely wonderful experience and Taichi was a very kind and helpful host. 10/10 would recommend this to friends and family.

It was absolutely fantastic. I loved everything about this workshop !! I had a lot of fun, the staff is adorable and it was so nostalgic !! I can't describe the feeling of sitting there with a bunch of people playing on our freshly customed gameboys, like we were all 10 years old again. Thank you guys a lot for allowing tourists to relive a part of our childhood through your workshop !! 🥰

Do you know what a Gameboy device is? If you do, this is the ultimate modification class you can get into! No spoiler, but you can really change up your device. The two hosts are super helpful in your learning process. They are so knowledgeable and this goes a long way in getting your full experience. I would do this again!
