Today I am going to show you the part of Tokyo that makes every Anime-Boy and -Girl’s heart beat faster: Akihabara! You find everything you need, from Anime figures and plushes to dolls, pillows, clear files…
Akihabara is also popular for Anime Second-hand shops, where you can find some very rare treasures 🙂 Let me give you a glance of Tokyo’s Anime paradise!
In Akiba (short version of Akihabara) everything is anime-themed. Even building decorations…My first reaction arriving at Akiba was just over-excitement. So much to explore…It took us three full days to see most of Akihabara, as there are many shops several floors high…Just a small impression of an Anime Shop…Taito Stations are the most popular for UFO Catching! Some machines contain figures, others plushes or other anime goods. I can’t say which one is the most easy to handle, as I am very bad at all of this 😀I saw that it is indeed possible to figure it out well, but it needs a lot of practice and 100 Yen coins 😀These Pikachus are just too kawaii (cute)!!Do you remember the Gashapon machines I told you about? In Akiba you’ve got plenty of them so that there are even shops specialized to these little Gashapon balls!Second-hand shops in Akiba. For me the most interesting ones. You can find very rare items and even Anime merch in very good condition but less expensive. Really worth visiting!
I hope you enjoyed the small trip to Tokyo’s Anime heaven!
