Learning to play Pachislot - I had played some regular pachinko before, but pachislot always seemed very complicated and more skill/knowledge-based so I had never tried it. Makoto explained everything very well and impressed me with his in-depth knowledge about the game (if you get this aim for that / the music changed, so you are guaranteed to win / punch means xx% chance of winning / this machine has to win within xxx spins).

Must do when in Japan - We had so much fun. Guide spoke very good English. Very informative and would be difficult to understand without his explanations and assistance when playing the machines.

Had lots of fun! - Makoto is a really great guy, very friendly and loves to share the unique experience of playing pachinko and pachislot. He taught me a lot about both pachinko and pachislot, and completely understands the games. He has an incredible knowledge of many different games and machines, I learned a lot and feel really comfortable playing now. He explains the strategy clearly so that you can find immediate success. Highly recommended.

Super fun and won some money! - I can't say that I entirely understand Pachinko, but our guide helped us walk into the Pachinko Parlor, find machines, win a good amount of money, and stay playing! He was happily willing to stay after our hour was up when one of our first machines was hot so we'd have a chance to learn a few different games. It was a very fun experience!
