Descripción completa

La mayor debilidad de la Game Boy original era su pantalla, una LCD reflectante que habia que inclinar hacia una lampara, por lo que el mercado de accesorios de los anos 1990 estaba lleno de luces de pinza. Treinta anos despues, un panel IPS retroiluminado moderno encaja en la misma carcasa y transforma completamente la maquina. Este taller le permite hacer usted mismo esa conversion, en Akihabara, donde siempre ha vivido el comercio de piezas.

Elige su consola al reservar: la DMG-01 original de 1989, o la Game Boy Advance con su pantalla mas ancha y su biblioteca de 32 bits mucho mayor. Cada unidad se prueba y se verifica antes de su sesion, asi que no estara arreglando el hardware roto de otra persona.

La sesion es genuinamente practica. Usted desmonta la consola con sus propias manos, instala la pantalla IPS retroiluminada, cambia los botones, y coloca una carcasa del color que elija, todo el sentido es que el objeto terminado sea inconfundiblemente suyo. Personal de habla inglesa al que realmente le apasiona este tema le guia en cada etapa, y no se espera experiencia tecnica; la mayoria llega sin haber abierto nunca un aparato electronico.

Hay un estante de cartuchos originales para jugar in situ mientras trabaja, en lo que suele irse una buena parte de la sesion.

El grupo esta limitado a seis personas, y el taller esta en la septima planta de un edificio en Kanda, a minutos de la calle principal de Akihabara. No son dos horas baratas, pero sale con una consola funcional y modificada en lugar de una foto, y seguira funcionando dentro de veinte anos.

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.

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.
