Akihabara (秋葉原) is a district in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (秋葉が原, "autumn leaf field"), which ultimately comes from Akiba (秋葉), named after a fire-controlling deity of a firefighting shrine built after the area was destroyed by a fire in 1869.
Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (秋葉原電気街, Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly after World War II for being a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market. Nowadays, Akihabara is considered by many to be an otaku cultural center and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and computer goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés are found throughout the district.
The main area of Akihabara is located on a street just west of Akihabara Station, where most of the major shops are situated. Most of the electronics shops are just west of the station, and the anime and manga shops and the cosplay cafés are north of them.

These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees. Wikipedia uses one of these licenses.

NOTE: the alley is under construction from June 5th to the middle of July 2017. The shrine is still there but it's prohibited to enter for 5 weeks. It will be here when you come in the summer :) This spot is one of the great secrets of Tokyo. Hidden just 5 meters from the busiest street in the city lies a shrine dating back to the Edo period. HANABUSA SHRINE or "Hanabusa Inari Jinja" is a place I first learned about 10 years ago on a location shoot for TV and still to this day, it's still a totally unknown spot. Shhhh! Let's keep it this way. Do not find your way to this Google Map URL! Hanabusainari Shrine 〒101-0021 Tōkyō-to, Chiyoda-ku, Sotokanda, 4 Chome−4 外神田4-4-5 https://goo.gl/maps/fY52Sbaa8qo
Akihabara. An Otaku's heaven. hahaha PLEASE WATCH in 720HD & OPEN FOR MORE INFO! TQ. :) Hi again everyone! Here's my journey to Akihabara and Shibuya! I really enjoyed it. For Akiba, I got to see many Gashapons being displayed and also popping into all the anime merchandise store. Not only that, a maid cafe as well! My next trip was to Shibuya. The shopping there is spectacular! Fun to see and explore around. I fangirl-ed a little to have the great experience to walk on the famous Shibuya 4 way cross road. Plus, feeling like I was in the anime world too. If any of you watch Durarara or K project you know what I mean. Hahaha. Good news ... I was able to visit Ikebukuro!

If there is one place in Tokyo that does not need any introduction, it is undoubtedly the Akihabara district! It was after the second world war that Akihabara became Tokyo’s hottest market for electronics and other household goods. However it wasn’t until around 1980 that Akihabara started to became the place to go for all your computer needs. Today you can see that Akihabara has again shifted its focus in other directions, including cheap duty free stores, cosplay cafes, animes and mangas. To be fair, the Akihabara that we all loved in the early 2000’s is dead and there is pretty much nothing interesting to do there besides exploring the gigantic multi storage Yodobashi Camera store. Bottom line, don’t waste your time there since nowadays everything can be ordered online and shipped i...

This is basically a complete video tour all recorded in one take of pretty much all of the main points of interest in all of Akihabara, Tokyo. This is based on tons of research that I have done about it plus my own personal months of exploration within it. Of course I don't cover every square inch of Akihabara and I know I forgot some cool shops like Mandarake. I've actually recorded that one in a previous video though. My intention was to give a basic layout of the geography and big highlights of Akihabara so that you could find them with ease. Points of Interest: 3:27 - AKB 48 Cafe and Gundam Cafe 5:10 - Taxi Service 7:00 - UDX Building (Tourist Info, Tokyo Anime Center, Free 2-Week Wi-Fi) 8:35 - Post Office (International Debit Card ATM) 8:54 - Koban (Police Box) 11:05 - McDonald's 13:1...
