Abstract
JAPAN GAME MUSEUM, established in 2012, is a facility museum dedicated to preserving and maintaining pinball and arcade game cabinets. Currently, it is closed for renovations, but it continues to collaborate with various retro gaming exhibition events, including the Nagoya City Museum. During this closure, the museum is focusing on preparations for reopening and performing maintenance tasks. When it comes to repairing arcade game cabinets, their emphasis is on ensuring that the cabinets can operate as closely to their original condition as possible. However, there are numerous challenges, including costs and personnel training, associated with maintaining these cabinets. Nevertheless, driven by the desire to provide enjoyment through arcade games and to preserve them for future generations, they are committed to making ongoing efforts to ensure that a diverse range of people can continue to enjoy these games.
