In Japan, there is a chain of entertainment stores called Round1 (ラウンドワン), where you can find Bowling, Karaoke, Video Games, Pool, Ping Pong, and Snacks. The Round One store chain can also be found in other parts of the world, but the true center of fun is in Japan, especially with a place called Spocha.
Spocha is a location within Round One where you pay a one-time fee to access and participate in various games such as throwing, target shooting, mini-golf, obstacle courses, and many others. Here you find unconventional fun for groups of friends.
Unfortunately, not all Round1 locations have this place called Spocha; many only have karaoke, pool, or bowling. A Round1 with an easily accessible Spocha is located in Diver City in Odaiba, Tokyo.
