I’m writing down about “Pachinko” which is familiar especially for Japanese and more like a gamble game than just amusement for me because anybody can possibly double or more your money just with a temporary luck and decision to risk your money on it. The reason why I dare to mention it this time comes from that many people, I mean both Japanese and no-Japanese, do even if they totally lose their money being aware of that fact, but I do not disagree with to play Pachinko, in fact, someone spends unbelievably huge amount of money on girls, video games or food. I can’t see any regret about that, so hereby I recommend Pachinko as one of Japanese culture. Obviously as you can see, there’re so many places to play Pachinko like everywhere in Japan. Just by seeking for them in the way back to my house from Hirakata station, I find, at least, 5 or 6, which is same somewhere but Osaka.
Like the picture in the middle, people gather around in front of there and make a line before the day of Shindai Irekae (It means that the new type of a Pachinko machine is coming in Japanese) to get a better one faster than anyone else. I guess even that part is also the point to have fun for them. Pic comes from（http://getnews.jp/wp-content/themes/redevo_newsred/featured-images/090406_0807331.jpg）
I took this photo at Pachinko parlor, called Himawari, near east gate of Kansaigaidai. Whenever all day in a year I go past beside that Pachinko parlor, wide age range of customers seriously face a Pachinko machine holding or putting a cigarette in their mouth. That kind of forces me to wonder if they really have a job or keep living by playing just only that. If you wanna be through all sort of stuff in Japan, I don’t think it’s bad one.
