No trip to Tokyo is complete without a visit to the fabled “Electric Town”, Akihabara, a major shopping area for electronic, computer, cameras, radio controlled models, games and arcades of all types, personal robots and robotics, and a wide collection of anime. The internet cafes and maids are sprinkled throughout the area.
For the technical-minded, a myriad of computer and electrical parts for building any imaginable device can be found in the dedicated stalls in the back streets of the district.
