John Daub Instagram – Akihabara is one Tokyo neighborhood all tourists seem attracted to and after many years living here, I can’t fully understand why 😂 the subculture reputation is strong but the maid cafe boom peaked years ago, game centers are declining but all over Tokyo — but it is convenient, on the Yamanote Line, between Ueno, Ginza, Asakusabashi. (See Poll in post) ▶︎ There are 2 towns around this area that I think are more interesting 😉 but what do you think? Which is more fun and why? ◀︎ Akiba’s “Electric Town” vibe from the 1960s-70s has been nearly wiped away because you can get everything on Amazon.co.jp. 1980s computer shops are hard to find. I don’t know how it’ll evolve in 10 years, but it won’t look the same. Thank you @dean_newcombe for joining me in a walk there from Hibiya / Ginza yesterday. Note: for the poll, what’s YOUR 1st pick of the 3 Tokyo Neighborhoods to stay and or visit. Mine are listed in the picks. #akihabara #tokyo #asakusabashi | Posted on 24/Feb/2024 07:37:51
