The ubiquitous pachinko parlor

Pachinko parlors are literally everywhere in Japan, housing countless pinball-like machines that are used for entertainment and more commonly gambling, although winners can’t collect cash, just prizes or tokens, which can then be exchanged elsewhere for money. More on pachinko is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko

A colorful and serene image of the street entrance. I'll guess it can get noisy inside!
