Akihabara

The streets of Akihabara display bright neon signs, digital billboards, and tall buildings filled with electronics stores and anime merchandise shops.

After World War II, Akihabara emerged as a central marketplace for electronic goods, transforming from a black market into Japan's primary technology retail center.

Maid cafes throughout Akihabara present a distinct social experience where staff members dress in maid uniforms and interact with customers through games and performances.

The main street, Chuo Dori, becomes a pedestrian zone every Sunday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore the district without vehicle traffic.

Radio Kaikan, a multi-story building near the station, contains small independent shops selling rare electronic components, vintage games, and collectible figures.
