Akihabara Electric Town
Welcome to Akihabara Electric Town, the birthplace of Japan’s electronics culture.
Once known as a postwar marketplace for radio parts, it has evolved into a vibrant maze of tiny gadget shops, vintage tech stores, and glowing neon signs. From retro vacuum tubes to the latest high-tech gear, this area perfectly blends nostalgia with innovation.
Walking through these narrow alleys feels like traveling through Tokyo’s history of technology—each storefront tells a story of Japan’s obsession with craftsmanship and detail.

Here you’ll find multi-floor anime stores, figure shops, card game spaces, and arcades overflowing with energy and color. Giant billboards feature beloved characters, and shop windows are filled with collectibles you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just curious, this area is pure sensory joy—where fantasy meets reality and everyone can be a kid again.

Maid Cafe MAID MADE Akihabara Electric Town-exit Store
Round off your Akihabara adventure in the Maid Café & Subculture Area, where Tokyo’s playful creativity truly shines.
Here, friendly maids dressed in cute costumes welcome guests as “masters” or “princesses,” serving themed food and drinks with cheerful performances and smiles. It’s part café, part theater, and 100% kawaii (cute).
Beyond the cafés, you’ll also find idol shops, cosplay stores, and photo studios—a window into the softer, more whimsical side of Japanese pop culture.
