Vollständige Beschreibung

Die groesste Schwaeche des urspruenglichen Game Boy war sein Bildschirm, ein reflektierendes LCD, das man zu einer Lampe hin ausrichten musste, weshalb der Zubehoermarkt der 1990er Jahre voll von aufsteckbaren Lichtern war. Dreissig Jahre spaeter passt ein modernes hintergrundbeleuchtetes IPS-Panel in dieselbe Huelle und verwandelt das Geraet vollstaendig. Dieser Workshop laesst Sie genau diese Umwandlung selbst vornehmen, in Akihabara, wo der Handel mit Einzelteilen schon immer zu Hause war.

Sie waehlen Ihre Konsole bei der Buchung: den originalen DMG-01 von 1989, oder den Game Boy Advance mit seinem breiteren Bildschirm und der viel groesseren 32-Bit-Bibliothek. Jedes Geraet wird vor Ihrer Sitzung getestet und ueberprueft, sodass Sie nicht die defekte Hardware eines anderen reparieren.

Die Sitzung ist wirklich praktisch. Sie zerlegen die Konsole mit Ihren eigenen Haenden, installieren den hintergrundbeleuchteten IPS-Bildschirm, tauschen die Tasten aus und setzen eine Huelle in einer von Ihnen gewaehlten Farbe ein, der ganze Sinn ist, dass das fertige Stueck unverkennbar Ihnen gehoert. Englischsprachiges Personal, das sich wirklich fuer dieses Thema begeistert, fuehrt Sie durch jeden Schritt, und es wird keine technische Erfahrung erwartet; die meisten Leute kommen an, ohne je ein Elektronikgeraet geoeffnet zu haben.

Es gibt ein Regal mit Original-Modulen zum Spielen vor Ort, waehrend Sie arbeiten, worauf oft ein guter Teil der Sitzung entfaellt.

Die Gruppe ist auf sechs begrenzt, und der Workshop liegt im siebten Stock eines Gebaeudes in Kanda, wenige Minuten von Akihabaras Hauptstrasse entfernt. Es sind keine billigen zwei Stunden, aber Sie gehen mit einer funktionierenden, modifizierten Konsole statt mit einem Foto, und sie wird auch in zwanzig Jahren noch funktionieren.

This was an awesome time. We got a little history on the Nintendo handhelds and then got to modify/build our own Game bBys. The options were great and it was a lot of fun. I’d definitely recommend this as a unique experience on your Tokyo trip.

The part where the old screen is removed can be made a bit easier , since the board is sharp it is to cut your finger

The price does not cover additional consoles or parts, hotel pickup and drop-off and food and drinks. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Mod Tokyo. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the Modden Sie Ihren eigenen Game Boy in Akihabara: Hintergrundbeleuchteter IPS-Bildschirm und individuelle Huelle is typically 2.5 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.

Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
