- Okinawa is also discussing such resorts as one way to solve the tourism issue.” Estimates are that a casino resort would cost some ¥320 billion, generate about ¥210 billion annually and employ.
- Japan isn’t an option either, at least until discussions about casino guidelines reach and then pass through the Diet, something which doesn’t seem likely to happen soon. It turns out though, there is a place within the country where it’s possible to try and win the jackpot, a casino in a golf club belonging to the U.S. Military in Okinawa.
- The Nakayama Racecourse (中山競馬場 Nakayama-keibajō) is located in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The course is variously attributed to opening in 1907, 1920, and 1990. The current crowd capacity stands at 165,676.

Entrance
Round 1 can be a bit intimidating on the first visit because it’s huge. Spread over multiple floors, it can seem like it might be a bit of a chore to navigate. Not at all. The floors are laid out in sections, so check the map next to the elevators (which have English as well as Japanese translations), and hit the button for the floor you want! Each area has various options for entrance. You can choose to stay for a minimum of 90 minutes, 3 hours, or a 24-hour pass. Each of these options can then be supplemented with drinks and food vouchers too, and you can combine options, so if you want to do bowling as well as the arcade, you can add them together. Prices are okay; for a big family it would be a fairly expensive trip, however, you can make it cheaper.

These are free to apply for. Bring them to every visit and make sure the staff stamps them, earning you discounts and rewards the more you visit. Also, download Round 1’s app. It’s all in Japanese, however, if you show it to staff, they can help you add coupons and discounts to your loyalty card, further reducing your entrance! Great way to save, and gives you an excuse to go back more than once!
