Akihabara, the center of anime and maid cafes. Every time I added an anime tattoo to my body, I fantasized about going to there. When I finally got the chance to visit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
In Akihabara, you can find more new and used electronic items than you could ever imagine. Computers, smartphones, cameras, video games and more. You can spend hours perusing the goods, then stop by a café for a break.
Akihabara is also home to many shrines and temples, which will give you a more relaxed side of the busy district. Stroll through the streets of the area for a taste of old and new.
