Photowalk: Akihabara in Tokyo, Japan

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.

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 <3

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!
