AKIHABARA Calling Code: +81 3
Akihabara (秋葉原) is Tokyo's "Electric Town", located
on the eastern side of the central Chiyoda ward. The area houses
thousands of shops selling every technological gadget you can
imagine, from computers to gaming consoles and vacuums to DVDs,
at reasonable prices. This area is also known as the "Gamer's
Mecca" and has in recent times become strongly identified with
anime/manga (cartoon) subculture, with the legions of otaku
geeks traipsing down on weekends known as Akiba-kei.
