The shrine was also the setting for an anime called Steins; Gate. This shrine worships a very rare tanuki. Although tanuki is an animal, in Japanese it is the same Japanese word for "overtaking others. Therefore, people who want to succeed in something secretly come to this shrine. Although it is not a large shrine located in the middle of a group of buildings, you will feel the sacred atmosphere when you enter this space.

Retro games are already out of production and finding them is very difficult. But this Super Potato is a store that deals only with retro games, and you will feel like a kid again when you see a lot of NES, SNES, and PS1 game softwares. The store is divided into 3 floors: 3F is mainly for Nintendo, 4F is mainly for PS, and 5F is the arcade section for retro games. Also on the 5th floor, you can buy DAGASHI (cheap snacks that Japanese kids eat), which is unique to Japan.

Japanese arcade culture is unique to Japan, with UFO catchers (craw clanes), fighting games, music games, quiz games, purikura (photo booths where you can process photos taken on the spot into stickers), racing games, and shooting games. It is exciting and captivating, so much so that you will lose track of time. On the 6th floor of GIGO, you will find a retro arcade, which is probably the only place in Japan where you can play so many old machines. You can feel the history of Japanese arcades in this place, and you will be fascinated by the world of dot-pictures.
