The Electronic market

#markets Another addition to the list of many amusing places in tokyo is the electronic town of Akihabara. It is like an electronic market. Akihabara is the hub of the city's geek culture. But people of other interests too visit this place. It's very fascinating and does get quite busy. The market has an energetic atmosphere with people out to shop at one of its highly specialised, multi-level shopping complexes, whether it's for high-tech electronics and gaming gadgets, or manga and anime merchandise. There are huge arcade centres where you could lose the whole day just playing games and winning prizes from the claw machines. However, there's much more to Akihabara than electronics stores and pop culture. You'll find beautiful shrines, excellent restaurants and stylish bars that make this neighbourhood worth exploring deeper. Here are the places we recommend for a perfect day out in Akihabara. I love trying out the katsusando vending machines every time I am here. Also within walking distance is the kanta shrine. A beautiful shinto shrine is more than a thousand years old. There is plenty to do and see in Akihabara that you won't realise how time passes. #markets #akihabara #tokyo #100waysoftravel
