Akihabara is (in)famous as the headquarters of everything manga, anime, and games, a colorful paradise for every geek and Otaku! 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 rather reasonable prices.
Subway ticket
As soon as you exit the station, you’ll see the Gundam Cafe. One of my favorite Cartoons growing up. #Nostalgic
I went to try their Zaku Omurice. Zaku is my favorite Mobile Suit!
I wasn’t in the mood to drink coffee but I tried it anyway.
Gundam Cafe also has a souvenir shop
Walk walk walk
Yeah, bargain cameras and gadgets
Went to SEGA and decided to explore. Saw this sweet old lady playing.
Left4Dead
OMG! HEAVEN! 😀
Decided to play Tekken, I grew up playing this!
Tekken has a Filipino character named Josie Rizal, named after our National Hero, Jose Rizal.
What do you call these again? Vending Machines?
I found a Lolita/maid!
Takoyaki.
Went to a bookstore…
A bit surprised that they openly sell these R-18/Porn magazines here.
And… I saw this dude. HAHAHA!
Went to one of the hobby shops and was pleased to see all these. MAGIC: THE GATHERING cards! Akiba sells some of the rarest!
Hopped on to another shop and found these Katana. Hayaaaaa! Oh wait…
Once I get a son, I’m naming him “Goku” so when I introduce him, I’ll be like… “This is my son, Goku.” HAHAHA! Seriously though, I fangirled so hard so I got myself one of these.
Of course, Frieza.
It’s not everyday that you get to see a super masculine villain wearing a tutu.
I’m forever hungry so I got myself a Taiyaki Cake.
Gigantor Pocky ❤
Another store full of action figures.
I fangirled upon seeing Android 18.
I am not sure what it is but I think it’s really cute!
Hope you enjoyed the photowalk! More to come!
You’re blogging again!? Welcome back! I’m honestly not a big gamer, but that food looks amazing haha I’d make the trip just for that

What’s this? If you’re not into words, make a storyboard out of it. It would be actually fun. 😀

I love the picture of how nicely they plate the rice. My older went to Japan this past January and she said it’s the best experience of her life.

I went to Akiba two months ago with my sister. I have been there many times (as I live in Japan), so I can recognize the places in the photos. Did you see the DDR machines on like the 3rd or 4th floor of that game center? My sister and I played the heck out of those!
