Customize and mod a classic Game Boy in this hands-on workshop in Akihabara, Tokyo's iconic gaming district. Choose your console when you book: the original Game Boy (DMG-01) or the Game Boy Advance (GBA). Guided by passionate English-speaking staff, you'll explore the history and craftsmanship behind Nintendo's legendary handhelds. No experience needed. Rather than building from scratch, you'll carefully mod a pre-tested console — installing a backlit IPS screen, swapping buttons, and choosing your own shell from a range of colors. The DMG session runs about 2 hours and the GBA session about 2.5 hours. The guides are true enthusiasts, sharing stories about rare cartridges, 90s classics, and the global Gameboy modding scene in a relaxed, small-group setting. After completing your build, test it on the spot with classic game cartridges — then take your one-of-a-kind console home as the best souvenir from Tokyo. 【BtoB welcome】 Corporate partnerships are welcome.
