Akihabara - "The Anime Kingdom in Tokyo"


Akihabara is one of the central districts in Tokyo named after a local shrine in Japan. It is known for electronics and gadgets. It  has a very distinct and unique character as it is known to be the center of otaku, anime and manga culture in Japan. Akihabara was also made popular by the several maid’s cafes in the area.   


        
                  



Mixed Jap youngsters usually hangs around the area. You can see the geek and techies inside Yodabashi  and other similar outlets. While, otakus are almost everywhere in the district. If you are lucky enough (just like me) I even spot two female otakus crossing the street and got a paparazzi shot of them as my souvenir of Akihabara.
