This district is a delight to tourists interested in electronics, gaming, anime, manga and otaku (nerd) culture.
Akihabara is widely acknowledged for it's technological and electronics market, and its gaming culture. Boasting of a Pokemon Centre and Gundam Cafe, Akihabara is another place for eclectic themed cafes and restaurants (more catered towards anime and gaming fans). A franchise called Akky specialises in duty-free electronics for overseas use, while many other shops have a wide range of high-quality electronics and the top-of-the-range gaming equipment.
