Tokyo, Japan /Chiyoda
Akihabara
秋葉原
🎯 DO
Also known as Akiba, Electric Town
The otaku capital and electronics heart of Tokyo — anime megastores (Mandarake, Animate, AmiAmi), retro gaming (Super Potato is the shrine), the Yodobashi Camera flagship, gachapon specialty shops, maid cafes, arcades. Radio Kaikan is the old-guard anchor. For the photo: walk the green bridge or get off at Ochanomizu to catch three train lines converging in one shot.
Type otaku district, electronics, gaming
- Ochanomizu station's bridge has the three-train-line photo that most visitors miss.
- Super Potato (retro gaming) is a two-block detour worth making.
- Yodobashi Camera flagship is the electronics hit; Radio Kaikan is the otaku anchor.
- Adult comics/goods sold openly in many shops — check before bringing kids inside.
