Tokyo is home to many video game pop up shops, limited events, and themed collaborations that are difficult to keep track of. I often talk about many of them on my podcast, Tokyo Game Life, but I wanted to create a page to highlight limited time gaming events in Tokyo. For a list of more permanent gaming hotspots, please check this guide.
