Raining Shibuya

On Saturday we had planned to go out of Tokyo to visit the temples of Kamakuro. But as it was such a horrible day we opted to stay in town to eat Udon, play Pachinko and shop in Shibuya.

Pachinko is a cross between a pinball and a slot machine. As far as I can tell, you have to turn a handle to split out metal balls at different speeds, adjusting the direction of the handle to land in a centre hole. When the balls are go in, numbers on a central screen start revolving. If you win more balls come out. It was confusing. I didn't win.
