Report by John

Based on the pinball map by Mr. Youmei, I explored a new pinball location - the Powers2 bar in Tokyo. The bar is located in a street near the Motosumiyoshi station.

The Powers2 bar

It may not be big, but the interior decoration is elegant. We arrived at the bar around midday and there were already a few customers there.  The bar manager warmly welcomed us and introduced us to their list of set lunches.

Inside the bar

I easily located the pinball - a Stern Grand Prix near the main entrance. However, it was powered off and I wondered if the machine was still functional.  Luckily, it was fully functional and the condition of the pinball was EXCELLENT.

The lunch at Powers2 was very delicious. However, I could not spend too much time on it because the bar would close at 2pm and I needed to make good use of limited time on the Grand Prix pinball.

Our delicious lunch

Although the Powers2 bar is not very close to the city of Tokyo, I strongly recommend you visit it because of its good food and excellent pinball.
