“So much fun! It’s hard to find a UFO crane-game spot, and this one happens to be a short walk away from KORI (a delicious tea and shaved ice bakery). There’s free parking right behind the Kawaii Neko building, making access convenient. For only $25 you can get 90 points to use on the crane game machines, and if you don’t happen to win you’re guaranteed a plush of your choice. I went with a couple friends and we had a blast. We happened to win a penguin plush that was so cute that another visitor saw it and asked which machine contained them. The staff are friendly, and offered us a free attempt at one of the games as well as some free stickers. While most of the crane games are chance and skill based, others work like Gacha-where you’re guaranteed to win a prize but don’t know which one from the set you will receive. Highly recommend this spot! Very fun and a very unique experience. If you’re an anime fan, you’ll enjoy hearing OPs from your favorites playing over the speakers.”
