Akihabara, Japan

 

Akihabara is known as the epicenter of Japanese otaku goods.  A destination for anime, manga, and video games fans.  But prior to that, Akihabara was previously famous for cheaper electronics and its original name is "Denki-gai" or Electric town.


You can get to Akihabara through Metro's Hibiya line, JR Yamanote Line, Sobu Line, and Keihin-Tohoku Line.  We stayed in Asakusa and by commuting, you'll be there in 20 minutes.  We always get to Akihabara by walking, ahahah! It is exactly 3.9 kilometers from our hostel, Sakura Hostel.  We went here twice, one is daytime and the next visit is night time, both fabulous!
