Virtual reality meets old school gaming in new Tokyo attraction

0726_vrarcade_apA new Virtual Reality attraction, Mazaria in Tokyo's Sunshine City allows players to become part of some of their favourite anime and gaming worlds.

Mazaria spokeswoman Kumiko Yoshinari says that the experience is designed for visitors to "enter into this world and have a great time alongside their favorite characters."

One such visitor, Momiji Fukatsu, says that she thinks that because Virtual Reality as a new technology is not readily available to everyone, "having a place like this where you can try it out with lots of different games is great."

The centre is made up of four zones including an "Adventure Zone", "Panic Zone", "Science Fiction Zone" and "Festival Zone".

The VR Park also includes a gift shop and a restaurant that serves many Bandai themed foods such as Pac-Man curry and ice cream.

Mazaria opened on 15 July 2019 as a permanent attraction located in Tokyo's Sunshine City complex. Tickets are about 40 US dollars for adults and 20 US dollars for children for a full day-pass.
