Report by John

During the Chinese New Year holidays in February 2013, I visited Tokyo with my wife on my leisure trip.

On day two, our second pinball location was Playground 20, which was close to the exit of Yebisu Sky Walk. We arrived there around 1pm.

We were surprised to find that Playground 20 is a residential house.   Its owner is an old Japanese man, and its seems that Playground 20 is his private playground.

There were two pinballs there: High Speed 2 - The Getaway and Title Fight.

Unfortunately, the Title Fight was out of order at that moment.  The Getaway was in acceptable working condition, but it leaned severely to the left, so the ball always tended to run towards the left outlane.

It seems that the owner was very interested in closely watching others playing pinball.  However, it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, so I only stayed there for 15 minutes.

In addition to Playground 20, there were other attractive scenes near the Yebisu Sky Walk.
