General information only

PachiPass provides general cultural and travel information about pachinko and pachislot in Japan. It is not gambling, legal, tax or financial advice. Nothing on this site encourages you to gamble.

Age

Pachinko halls in Japan are for people aged 18 and over. Follow the laws where you are.

Accuracy

We research carefully and date our information, but halls, machines, prices and rules change. Always follow the signs, staff and rules at the venue, and check details such as opening hours with the venue before you travel.

Third-party sites

We link to other websites, including tour operators and shops. We’re not responsible for their content, products or services.
