One last visit to Japan’s craziest, scariest video game arcade: Warehouse Kawasaki【Photos】 soranews24.com

There’s usually not much to say about the architecture or interior design at a video game arcade.
Warehouse Kawasaki, though, is a major, and crazy, exception.
About a 10-minute walk from Kawasaki Station, just a quick train ride from downtown Tokyo, Warehouse Kawasaki stands outside the bright lights of the multiple shopping centers that ring the rail hub.
The front entrance is guarded by a dragon and adorned with Chinese good-luck placards, a nod to one of Warehouse Kawasaki’s original influences, Hong Kong’s former Kowloon Walled City tenement block.
This two-floor atrium is Warehouse Kawasaki’s primary attraction: an arcade plopped down into what looks like a dark, decaying cityscape.
