Akihabara Electric Town
Tokyo, Japan - serlingrod - Sunday, September 9th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Akihabara is known internationally as one of the largest shopping areas on Earth for electronics, namely computers and other high-tech gadgets. The shopping district is so large that much of the fringe is actually part of the neighboring region of Soto-Kanda. I'm not much of a techie and I'm somewhat old-school, so my favorite spot was Super Potato, a store specializing in 8-bit Nintendo.

very good, the third picture has a building in the center and it looks like it's winking at us.

my guess, sythero, is that foreigners purchase electronics from these stores to get their taxes returned when they leave. tokyo much like japan is a very homogenous place, but i did see alot of westerners in akihabara, probably getting the latest high-tech toys.
