If you like fighting games and you're in Kyoto, definitely check out A-cho on Sanjo-dori street...you'll find the streets are simply named Nijo, Sanjo, Shijo, Gojo, Rokujo, etc, and all run east-west and parallel to each other; if you're taking Sanjo-Keihan line or JR (which drops you off at IIRC at Shichijo, and it'll be quite a long walk to Sanjo), Sanjo-dori street isn't hard to find. I have a map of where it's at, but it's in Japanese and plus it's pretty darn easy to miss so you'll really have to look out for it.

When I went in March/April, they had SSF2T, SF3:3S, SF4, T6BR (about 6 of them), VF5R, KOF (96, 97, 98, 98UM, 2000, 2002, 2002 UM, XI, and XII) Fatal Fury RBS and RB2, and a bunch of other fighting games I can't think of.

If you care about Bemani, it had two IIDX Empress machines, a sessioned GFdm V5, Pop 'n 16, Pop 'n 17, DDR X (upgraded but worked great), Taiko something (Taiko was everywhere). Of course e-amuse cards were readily available.

Joyopolis across from Osaka JR didn't have a TON of fighting games (a lot of Tekken 6 BR players though), but enough anyhow. The Gundam pod games I recommend checking out (even though it's like $5 per game and you need a card which is like another $5...play once to experience it, it's pretty cool). I didn't spend enough time in Osaka so I can't recommend a lot of other places =/
