Additionally, there are other forms/mediums of gaming/entertainment on display here, such as casino style gaming (card/dice/etc). Particularly eye catching in the 2018 event was Akiba Guild, which featured maid dealers (women dressed in maid costumes), one of those things you very well might only see in Japan...
The most Tokyo/entertainment savvy visitors will still learn a new thing or two from a visit to Tokagi. Uh, even about... toilets?
Also, it seems any legitimate fun-based event in Japan must feature cosplay, right? Though smaller in scale than the bigger name events, Tokaigi has both commercially sponsored costumed faces to match their game's characters, and many fan cosplayers are there in ample supply.
Additionally, for the aspiring/experienced cosplayers, there are vendors that specialize in cosplay props and costumes on hand here as well. If you're looking for the perfect accessory, or perhaps the perfect (fake) weapon for your costume, you might very well find it here if it falls within the gaming realm.
Come prepared to be entertained, and educated to a degree, at Tokagi's game party!
Recommendations:
- Buy tickets in advance; saves about 500 yen from the price of admission on the day(s) of the event.
- This event is (relatively) not as crowded as others; it's a good "warmup" event to attend if you're tentative about attending some of the similar but bigger events (such as Tokyo Game Show).
