Pachinko parlor in Shinjuku

I shot this in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo. Pachinko machines can be found in pachinko parlors which are all over Japan. Pachinko is a mixture between slot machine and pinball. One can recognize parlors easily because they are bright and colorful; inside a parlor it is very loud and smoky. The player is quite passive while playing; he or she is only controlling the speed with which many small steel balls are thrown into the pachinko machine.

@Jikku That's actually the sign to tell the employee to stop their game. Since the place is really loud and they can't hear you, or for foreigners who doesn't speak Japanese.
