Sega Akihabara 1-Goukan (セガ 秋葉原 1号館) was Sega's flagship indoor game centre in Japan. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the district and has acted as a location test for many of Sega's arcade produce.
The game center originally opened as Hi-Tech Land Sega Shintoku (ハイテクランド・セガ・シントク) in 1992, however after the bankruptcy of the building's owner, Shintoku, it became Hi-Tech Land Sega Akihabara (ハイテクランドセガ 秋葉原) and later Club Sega Akihabara (クラブ セガ 秋葉原). After a refurbishment, it reopened as an unbranded Sega arcade on March 14, 2012.
For years this venue was known simply as Sega Akihabara, despite Sega operating a number of game centers in the region. The building that became Sega Akihabara 3-Goukan was considered to be part of the same complex, though all five (including Akihabara GiGO which became 2, 4 and 5) were within walking distance. Sega numbered the buildings in mid-2017 and now treats them as separate venues.
On March 17, 2022, the Sega branding on the Arcade was replaced with GiGO branding, and the arcade opened as such under the new name the following morning. This was done after the sale of the entirety of Genda Sega Entertainment to Genda and the rebranding of the company as Genda GiGO Entertainment. Sega no longer has any involvement or ownership of the venue.
