Sega Akihabara 1-Goukan (セガ 秋葉原 1号館) is 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.
