A list of mahjong parlors in Akihabara with smoking, smoking section, and non-smoking　

Akihabara BC

Have you ever wanted to play mahjong with friends after work or on your day off? However, I think there are quite a few people who are not comfortable with the smell of cigarettes and smoke at mahjong parlors.
So, this time I looked around Akihabara to see if there were any mahjong parlors where people like this could spend their time comfortably.

It's the largest mahjong store in Akihabara, with 14 tables. I'm quietly happy that you can charge your devices at the mahjong tables. By the way, this has nothing to do with the store, but Ma Chao is written in kanji as "Horse" and it seems to be commonly believed that Ma Chao comes from the Chinese card game (paper card game) that was the origin of mahjong. It seems that "Mahjong" was born from a transformation of Ma Chao. That was useful (old).

Being a major chain gives you a sense of security, so it's recommended for those who aren't used to going to mahjong parlors. It's also close to the station and has good access. There are 17 stores nationwide, 15 of which are in the Kanto region. There is one store each in Hyogo Prefecture and Hokkaido. Also, since the company merged with the Marchao Group in 2016, cards can be used at both chains.

There are no free options, and this restaurant specializes in set meals. This makes it perfect for having fun with friends. However, since there are only five mahjong tables, you might want to make a reservation by phone if you plan to go. They also offer a complimentary drink, and the curry (600 yen) that is homemade every day is half price on Mondays as "Curry Day," so it's easy on the wallet.

What's noteworthy is the low set price. It is also possible to rent the entire venue, so it's recommended for those who want to hold a mahjong tournament at a company or other venue. Please note that the drinks served are hot green tea and cold barley tea (no alcohol), and there are only two types of food: Cup Noodles and Peyoung. On the flip side, you can bring in soft drinks and food, so don't forget to buy some when you drop by.

It was just reopened in March this year, and the interior is very stylish! There is also a private room, though only one table, so it would be nice to have a mahjong date in a beautiful mahjong parlor like this. Before that, please don't ask me rude questions like, "Do you have a girlfriend?" By the way, although it is not a non-smoking establishment, they are particular about air conditioning, so even those who don't like cigarettes can spend a relatively comfortable time there.

There is a main building and an annex, and the main building is non-smoking, while the annex is smoking. However, while smoking is prohibited in the main building, electronic cigarettes are allowed.
So, are there any people who use IQOS or GLO who think that the smell of paper cigarettes is too strong? Actually, I am one of them. I currently use GLO, but after getting used to it, I really don't like the smell of paper cigarettes. So, I hope that there will be more stores that are smoking bans and allow e-cigarettes in the future.

There is only one table, but there is a separate smoking area, so it is also friendly to those who don't like smoking. Also, just like the second store, you are generally allowed to bring in food and soft drinks. However, unlike the second store, there is an all-you-can-drink soft drink option and a wide variety of food menus. However, the hourly rate is 50 yen higher.

As the name of the restaurant suggests, the entire restaurant is non-smoking. Of course, it's perfect for non-smokers, but even smokers can smoke in the area outside the emergency exit, so it's recommended for those who want to smoke but don't want to smoke around. Gentlemen who are considerate of others are cool!

This shop promotes healthy mahjong with no rates, no smoking, and no alcohol. I would like to spend the rest of my life relaxing by playing healthy mahjong to prevent dementia in my old age. I would recommend this place to serious mahjong players rather than those who just want to have fun with others.

This is truly AKIHABARA! You can play mahjong with girls in cosplay, and there's a worldview that's almost like an RPG, with a job system and skill system. It's more of an exciting place that feels like some kind of attraction than a mahjong parlor. I especially recommend it to people like me who don't have a girlfriend but want to go on a mahjong date with a girl (tears).

My Feelings, Then and Now

This time, we looked into whether there are mahjong parlors in the Akihabara area where office workers can have fun after work or with friends on the weekends, and we mainly introduced stores where you can play for a set price. Of course, there are also stores where you can play alone for free, so be sure to check that out. If you find a store you like, why not go and check it out?
