Management at a shop has begged guests to shower before visiting after seeing an "increase in the number of customers in an unhygienic state".
Bosses at Cardland, a collectable trading card shop in Akihabara, Tokyo, even warned visitors they won't be allowed to participate in gaming tournaments it holds regularly if their hygiene is below-par.
And the shop has even vowed to give these customers free detergent in a thinly-veiled hint to clean their act.
