A Yakuza / Like a Dragon fan has managed to prank Google Maps by adding the Millennium Tower Rooftop, an iconic location from the video game series, as a real-world tourist attraction in Tokyo.
The trick was spotted by Reddit user waasup, who discovered the rooftop listed on Google Maps with an image from the game, making it look like a genuine photo of Tokyo.
The Millennium Tower Rooftopโs appearance on Google Maps surprised many fans, who took to the platform to leave amusing reviews based on in-game events.
One commenter described it as โa fun spot to go with your kyodais,โ referencing the seriesโ frequent action-packed showdowns.
Another user joked about seeing the tower explode multiple times, drawing on memorable events from the Yakuza series.
While Google Maps didnโt flag the location, it’s likely due to the Yakuza seriesโ authentic recreations of real-world places like Kamurocho, based on Tokyo’s Kabukicho district.
Fans can often navigate the gameโs streets like the real thing, though fewer shirtless brawls and explosive confrontations happen in reality.
