Ukiyo Studios Opens Indie Game Bar in Yurakucho
Ukiyo Studios has opened UKIYO GAME BAR & CAFE in Yurakucho, Tokyo, currently in pre-open during Tokyo Game Show 2026. The bar, operated by the company that supports game developers and publishers in Japan and overseas, occupies the third and fourth floors of 1-3-8 Yurakcho, Chiyoda-ku, about two minutes on foot from Tokyo Metro Hibiya Station Exit A4 and three minutes from Ginza Station Exit C1. It is open from 10:00 to 22:00 with no closing days. The store's PCs run a proprietary launcher with about 20 titles playable at once, and the lineup is planned to rotate roughly every two weeks. In an interview, Ukiyo Studios' Atsushi Takahashi said event exhibitions last only days, so the company wanted a physical venue where games can be played 365 days a year. The upper floor, home to a real-life Buckshot Roulette attraction originally made for Tokyo Game Show 2024, will host seminars and talk events.
