Awesome place for specialist electronic components and old junk parts. Found a couple of unique things there. I wish there were places like it here in the UK. Sadly it seems to be dying off, lots of stores now have the shutters closed. Visit this place while you still can to experience what Akihabara once was, and try to buy something to support it.
Awesome department store with many specialist electronics shops. The goods and customer service varies from shop to shop but this place gives you a really good feel of what akihabara once was. A lot of the shops are closing though so I wonder how much longer it will last...
Lots of hard to find older parts!
The best place in the world for electronics enthusiasts, especially if you're into vacuum tubes and vintage electronics. Just keep in mind some shop owners don't allow photos and videos, unfortunately, so please ask for permission.
