Haikyo, Pachinko Ruins of Japan

[WondersPachi]

Check out this crazy blog of an older abandoned pachinko parlor.

Heres a video from a completely seperate person. Here later in the video he
shows a floor littered in rusty pachinko balls in the Toyo Bowl. Crazy...

Nothing is beyond saving (according to my Dr.)

Here's a pic from when I was last in Japan; Hokkaido in 2011, before all this pachinko addiction nonsense.
Saw this statue at a "casino" from the road along the coast and got the pic. I did see machines inside, but didn't venture in.
It was low tide, September, and the smell was suffocating. If it was now, tho... id at least have gone in
there to see if I could find that missing part from my Daichi Escape 2...

Ah this is why I love Japan.

Pachinkos are so common there that they even have abandoned ones cause there are just so many out there. It's like here in North America if you were to see a closed-down restaurant, it's pretty much like anything else.

Much in the same way that obviously getting pachinko balls and such is easy as getting a tomato here

Anyway, as for that abandoned pachinko parlor, it sorta looks like it's in the middle of nowhere which could explain why it had to shut down. Unless it was a factory for the machines but I doubt it.
