  • A day in the life working in Tokyo Japan as a Pachinko Casino Worker. This is what a typical day working in Japan is like if you work in the Casino Entertainment and leisure Industry. This is typical life living in Tokyo and working a morning shift. The Japan working culture is shown as we follow Kento, 27 year old Pachinko Parlor Hall Manager from morning until evening to see what his average Japanese job is like. Pachinko Hall manager works at Maruhan, one of the largest Pachinko companies in Japan. Pachinko is a type of mechanical ball game resembling pinball, but instead with many tiny balls and with the aim to drop the balls into specific pockets in the machine. If one of the balls, goes into the designated pocket, called STATO CHAKKA, it will initiate a slot machine like roll on the LCD screen. If the numbers or patterns line up, then it’s a jackpot. The winnings can be used to claim various prizes at the front desk, but cannot be claimed for cash directly since gambling is prohibited by Japanese law. Instead, the winnings can be exchanged into gold chips. Then outside at a neighboring TUC shop, the gold chips can be exchanged for cash.
    NOTE: I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy during these times. This video was filmed before Tokyo started recommending a city lockdown. In fact, at the time of uploading this video, Tokyo is still not officially on lockdown and residents are able to go out as they wish, but please know that I am staying at home these days as much as possible, eating meals at home and only venturing out for necessary items such as pregnancy clinic visits, grocery shopping, etc and also practicing social distancing as much as it is possible in Tokyo. And of course, I am not traveling these days.

      I was in Japan for about 10 days on vacation a couple of years ago, I never saw a single piece of litter. Not even a gum wrapper. Also, there are ZERO trash cans on the public streets, you are expected to carry your own trash home to dispose of it.

      he probably dont earn a lot, but you can get promotion quickly since staff is quite young,
      dress code in costum is cultural in japan (school or later searching job, of marriage etc) even for working class,
      in addition he can meet girls or people easily with this suit. he have the luck to work at shinjuku wich is a big hub of life in tokyo (officestaff, worker, student, tourist, nightlife etc), since the culture of eat after work is large that make restaurant very cheap and numerous there,
      i remember ate in a 24/7 izakaya at shinjuku and pay all i can eat+drink for 25$, generally 50cl beer is like 5$, and food is like 7$ for ramen/plate or in group...you can order a big one for many people, but you can also order additional meat plate for3-10$ depending of what you want....remember most of japanese eat the morning, few for lunch, and in evening lightly and mainly drink.

      ​Oh damn. Here I was thinking oh how lovely, they must really get along nicely for wanting to dine together after work a lot! I had no idea it was like that. Social/work etiquette is really high maintenance there it seems. I guess it's perfect for people that like to be married to their job... Japanese often commit to one job for life to begin with. But I didn't know it was that extreme! Big yikes. Getting bullied for still attending but then not wanting to consume alcohol is really... messed up. As if a person can't be fun/have fun when sober.
      My personal motto is always: I work to live, I don't live to work. But for them it seems like it's definitely the other way around. I do admire their strong spirit and diligence though, and I guess if growing up by such standards it's easier to deal with since they are accustomed to it. But I'd be... devastated. I like not having to partake in work outings. I prefer to keep work and private life very strictly separated. It's not for me either, even if my coworkers are pretty cool people that I get along with really well. I've had jobs before where there was social pressure to join in though, but I don't think it can compare to this level.
