Akihabara






Have you ever been to Akihabara?
It 's also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai).
It's an area around Akihabara Station,
part of Chiyoda-ku and Taitho-ku.
It's nicknamed "Akiba".
There are hundreds of shops that sell electrical appliances,
computer equipments and anime goods.
There are still tons of Maid cafes.
It has become almost a sacred place 
for people who are called "Otaku" or "Nerd".
It is now a world famous tourist attraction.

Today I saw lots of maids and a Gokuu.
Gokuu?
Yep, you'll find many cosplayers.
So, there're tons of shops that sell costumes for cosplay.
You can enjoy seeing them while you're shopping!

Oh, I almost forgot!
If you're a smoker,be careful!!
You need to find a smoking place.
'Cos in 2002, Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward introduced fines 
on smoking in the street.
