Akihabara

Tokyo

True center of the Japanese geek culture, the Akihabara district mainly owes its growth, in the first place, to the electronic sector, and then the manga and video games universe. You will see huge malls exposing their state-of-the-art high-tech products, and numerous shops with anime-derived products in addition to Maid Cafés.
