The Ground Self-Defense Force has established its first public relations center, aiming to offer potential young recruits a positive image of the nation's de facto army.

The GSDF Public Information Center is essentially an amusement arcade, designed to appeal to the young, or young at heart.

Located on the Asaka base, stretching over the city of Asaka, Saitama Prefecture, and Nerima Ward, Tokyo, the 1.6 billion yen center opens to the public Saturday.
