The otaku mecca as it were. In spite of being famous for otaku culture, there's a lot more to Akiba, as it's referred to locally, than meets the eye. There are a number of phenomenal restaurants and cafes tucked away, and it's also home to one of Japan's largest adult goods stores. But heads up, if that's why you're heading there, they may ask you for ID just like anywhere else as you're required to be at least 18 years old to enter.
