While exploring various neighborhoods around Tokyo following my month of mayhem in the USA, I stumbled into an arcade to take advantage of the air conditioning. The arcade, located a stone’s throw from the famed “Senso-ji” temple, had a UFO catcher that may well outdo the “schoolgirl panties” urban legend: Live upalupas.
For a mere 100 yen a try, you too could learn of the wonders of upalupa ownership (if you’re lucky).
