We found the Minami Pachinko (美波町ぱちんこ) in a boring neighborhood of Tokushima. Later, I learned that almost each pachinko parlor has its own ball design (pachinko balls are forbidden to be removed from a parlor to be used elsewhere). I could have began my collection of abandoned pachinko balls there 😉 But the balls aren’t very valuable, estimated at about 4 yens each.
