Spocha - Round1: One of Japan's Most Fun Places

In Japan there is a chain of fun stores called Round1 (ラウンドワン), where you can find Bowling, Karaoke, Video Games, Billiards, Ping Pong and Snacks. The Round One chain of stores can also be found in other parts of the world, but the real fun center is in Japan, especially with a place called Spocha.

Spocha is a place within Round One that you pay a one-time fee to access and participate in various games such as shooting, target shooting, mini golf, obstacle course and many others. Here you can find unconventional fun for groups of friends.

Unfortunately not all Round1s have this place called Spocha, many only have karaoke, billiards or bowling alley. A very accessible Round1 with Spocha is located at Diver City in Odaiba, Tokyo.
