Welcome to hobby collector's paradise!  Located just a short 15-minute train ride away from the Ikebukuro Sunshine City area, Akihabara offers a feast of hobbyist shops and electronics stores that not even the hardiest otaku can indulge in a single day.  Famous shops we've stopped at were Animate, Gamers, AxoBitCity, Volks, Yellow Submarine, and much more.  Hundreds of shops packed into a few square miles, included everything from anime, manga, garage kits, gaming machines, capsule collections, toys, computers, consumer electronics, and a multitude of the most bizarre toys on the face of the planet.  And yes, they do have food places, too.
