    Nicknamed the Electric Town, this district is the place to shop for high-tech gadgets, electronics, video games, anime shops, toys, souvenirs whether in the stores or at the unique vending machines. It is also the place to have great experiences such as Go-Kart, driving through the city while disguised as your favourite anime/game character or enter one of the game centers and watch the hard core gamers playing on the arcade machines. The area is even more spectacular at night when all the lights are on and becomes lively and crowded with locals and tourists.

    (Translated by Google) I think Akihabara is a nerd town, but it's not ^ _ ^ Well, it's inevitable that only that part will be picked up on TV etc! It is a fun town just to walk around and look around (≧ ▽ ≦) There are quite a few places to eat (^ _-) There are many foreigners (^^) / I think it is a good place. The maid cafe is also geeky, but it was delicious I want to experience anything and enjoy \ (^-^) / (Original) 秋葉原というと、オタクと言う街に思いますが、そうでもないですよ^_^ まあどうしても、テレビなどでそこの部分だけ取り上げられるので仕方ないけど! ブラブラ歩いて見て回るだけでも楽しい街です(≧▽≦) 食べるところも結構有ります(^_-) 外国の人も沢山来てますよ(^^)/ 良いところだと思います😁 メイドカフェもオタクっぽいけど 普通に美味しかった✨ 何でも体験して楽しみたい\(^-^)/

    Electronics, PC, video games, cosplay, toys, anime, maid cafe, etc. Anything you want it, you can get it here! It is a matter of getting into the small shops and corridors and exploring everything!

    Many people say that Akihabara is a far cry from what it used to be, but that's only if you're going for the tech/anime stuff. I agree that it's not really that impactful in those regards. Akihabara is underrated for food, cafes, and as a neighbourhood that's filled with nice surprises like shrines and locations worth looking at. If you want your anime fix, then Parco in shibuya is a great place to visit.

    (Translated by Google) Akihabara Electric Town, nicknamed "Akihabara," is known as a sacred place for anime and games, with a large number of stores specializing in anime, manga, and game goods. It is also a place where a wide variety of hobby items such as railroads and PC parts gather, and is famous worldwide as a fierce battleground for maid cafes. Recently, a unique experience-based concept cafe is also popular. (Original) 「アキバ」という愛称で親しまれている秋葉原電気街は、アニメ、漫画、ゲームグッズの専門店が密集した、アニメとゲームの聖地として知られています。他にも鉄道、 PCパーツなど多種多様なホビーアイテムが集まる場所でもあり、メイドカフェの激戦区としても世界的にも有名です。最近ではユニークな体験型コンセプトカフェも人気です。

    Akihabara is a buzzing shopping hub famed for its electronics retailers, ranging from tiny stalls to vast department stores like Yodobashi Multimedia Akiba. Venues specializing in manga, anime, and video games include Tokyo Anime Center, for exhibits and souvenirs, and Radio Kaikan with 10 floors of toys, trading cards, and collectables. Staff dressed as maids or butlers serve tea and desserts at nearby maid cafes.

    A dream for every anime, gaming and retro friend. Countless businesses that revolve around these topics. There are also inexpensive shops for collectors between them. On Sundays, the entire street is closed to cars all day long, creating an unbelievable experience of overcrowding. It is recommended to go on a weekday.

    You come to Japan without visiting this place? I got so many gadgets here as well as accessories. They have the most complete selections of computer bags, Mac accessories and iPhone cases, cables and anything you can or cannot think of that I don’t see in the US or anywhere else. They’re all right in front of your eyes. You don’t have to wait and don’t have to order online. You see it, you like it and you bring it home. It also has tax refund onsite. Love this place, one day is never enough.

    If you like electronic, anime, manga, arcade or similar stuff, this is the place to go. Otherwise it's nothing for you. Goods are quite pricey, but food is also available cheap and delicious.

    Wow! Spent 1.5 days. Plenty of cafes, snacks stands, fast food options. Most restaurants require rsvp day of. For all electronic, gamers, souvenirs - Absolute abundance of anything you didn’t know you needed. Places are relatively equal to other like Bic camera. Look for sales and specials of day. Can easily spend a week exploring all the hundreds if not thousands of shops in this area. Japan, you know we’re coming back don’t you!

    You can easily spend a whole day just shopping along this street. Each building has 4-7 floors and each floor is filled with different products. They have hobby stores for all kinds of hobbies and tons apon tons of anime and manga stores. If you want to find food, most establishments are on the back of the buildings on the main road.

  • 5/5 larva Z. 5 months ago on Google
    Electric town it is.., Yodobashi Akiba and Bic Camera provide a lot of electronic stuff, including home appliances, camera, video game stuff. And fans of Square Enix don't forget to try visiting their Square Enix cafe, the place is near and inside JR Akihabara station. And this place is famous for otaku and anime roads since a lot of stuff sells here and also some maid cafe and idol stuff.

  • 5/5 N C. 5 months ago on Google
    Love it here! So many fun things to do and see and eat. Lots of arcades, and panchinko parlors. No outdoor markets, nor food stalls but most restaurants have some sort of ordering vending machine out front or does ordering through iPad, equipped with English. Almost no one in the area speaks any English. Men here are much more accepting of women. Lots of call girls and maid girls on streets passing out fliers, super sweet and always know a few good places to hang out or eat.

  • 4/5 Tony del p. 6 months ago on Google
    If you are into video games, anime, electronics, this is the area in town for you. Some of the places become derivative but it was fun to be in this vibe. Sooooo many options when it comes to Retro gaming, electronic equipment, and manga culture. Spent time in Gigo 1 and 3 as well as HEY for Retro Arcading. So many great games from my childhood and a number of them that were new to me. 100 yen per play usually.

    Akihabara Electric Town, often referred to as the ‘Mecca of Electronics,’ is a vibrant district in Tokyo that deserves all the praise it gets. Here’s a glimpse of my personal experience exploring this tech haven: The moment I entered Akihabara, I was greeted by an overwhelming display of neon lights, towering billboards, and bustling streets. The sheer energy of this place is infectious. It’s an area where modernity and tradition meet in a unique blend that’s distinctly Japanese. As a tech enthusiast, I was on cloud nine. Akihabara offers a staggering array of electronic goods, gadgets, and devices. The stores here are stocked with the latest tech trends, from cutting-edge computers and cameras to obscure accessories and components you might not find anywhere else. It’s a paradise for those who revel in all things electronic. One of the highlights of Akihabara is the extensive collection of anime and manga shops. The district has a strong connection to Japanese pop culture, and you’ll find stores dedicated to every anime series imaginable. Whether you’re into collectibles, manga, or action figures, there’s something for every fan. Akihabara also boasts a fantastic selection of themed cafes. I had the opportunity to visit a few, including the famous maid cafes, which provide a unique and somewhat quirky dining experience. The waitstaff, dressed in maid costumes, are exceptionally friendly and add a fun twist to your meal. One aspect to note is that some stores may not have English-speaking staff, so it’s helpful to have a few essential Japanese phrases under your belt. However, this minor language barrier shouldn’t deter anyone from experiencing Akihabara. In conclusion, Akihabara Electric Town is an exhilarating district that celebrates technology, pop culture, and the quirky side of Japan. Whether you’re a tech aficionado, an anime lover, or simply an adventurer, Akihabara offers an immersive experience that’s unlike any other. Don’t forget to bring some yen because you’ll likely be tempted to take home a piece of this technological wonderland.

  • 5/5 Guillermo V. 6 months ago on Google
    If you're into anime, manga and/or video games, this is the place to go, so much to see and so many stores to check out. I'm sure a huge fan can probably spend a day or two here alone.

  • 4/5 Benstart L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to spend an afternoon sightseeing. Although I didn't visit any it seems to be the hotspot for maid cafes. Electrics shops and anime shops abundant. If you like arcade gaming it is the best place in tokyo

  • 4/5 George P. 5 months ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) This town, which is famous for electronic devices and otaku goods, has become an ordinary red-light district thanks to the fashion of girls' bars and concept cafes. One of the features is that the number of food courts has increased explosively, but we do not recommend eating and drinking here because there are many shops that sprinkle prices.

    (Translated by Google) After all, the scale is different from Nipponbashi in Osaka and Osu in Nagoya. It's a city that you won't get tired of even if you spend a day. However, I don't like the fact that there are lots of customers who don't know if it's a maid cafe or a custom.
