This movie was pointed out by TOO_yoshikawa, who somehow is always able to take clearer screenshots than me.

| 下町の太陽 (1963) |
There is a short scene at 花やしき (Hanayashiki) in 浅草 (Asakusa).
We begin with some pinball.
 |
when you see "Spin" on a bumper, that means its a game with a roto-target
|
That's all we get, but it's more than enough.
But the showcase here is an entirely NEW GAME that we've never seen or heard of before. It's a large shooting gallery that I believe uses photo cels / light gun technology.
 |
| Part of the text at the top is cut off, but we can see most and I'm told it says ララミー砦の決戦 |
My guess is that you have to shoot the light when the target is above it.
I'm combining 3 of these frames into one image for the eremeka database:

| ララミー砦の決戦 (The Battle of Fort Laramie) [Shooting Game - seen in 下町の太陽] by アートポイント社 (Art Point) |
I am unsure if this rotating robot is related to a game, but considering the decorative light board on the right and the two connected spheres on the left, it is probably just a a decoration at the venue.
Then, there is bowling:
There are not many clues here, but let's work with what we've got. This is a floor bowler game, probably by Chicago Coin. We know David Rosen was importing all sorts of these in his 1961 catalogue. The front pin area pushes out in a triangle, but has flat parts on either side. There is a stripe that goes from the flat part out to the pin triangle. We can see rollover switches underneath the dangling pins.
There is an inner stripe that runs the length of the gutter. The instructions at the front of the lane are the same shape on both machines, a rectangle with a darker rectangle at the top. The metal bar on the ball return appears to be common amongst all of their models. At the end of the ball return there is no coin box. The balls appear to be the 4.5" variety. Clay's excellent article on bowling arcade games on his pinrepair site has been extremely useful here.
These clues help narrow down the options from well over 10 probably bowlers to about 3 that share those visible features, particularly the design of the instructions at the front.
On pinrepair we learn that T.V. Bowling League and Lucky Strike are contact bowlers with no rollover switches, so we can rule those game out.
So this is most likely Classic Bowling League.
And we'll leave off with some amusement park shots

This
blog stands in protest against the horrific eliminationist policies
being enacted by the USA to remove trans people from society. Trans
people have always existed, in every society, but this fascist
administration has declared a war against reality and says that trans
people can no longer be allowed to exist. Trump's executive orders say
that trans children should be abused at school, in their home, in
public, and at hospitals. Trump's orders are a decree to destroy all
traces of trans existence from society, and that all trans people are
subhuman threats and liars who should not be allowed to exist publicly.
He is attacking children, he is attacking families, and he is
delighting in his sadism.
This blog stands in solidarity with all
of the youth who are being terrorized by a president who has declared
them to be threats that must be eliminated.
