But when I first came to Japan, Akihabara was my primary destination.

I wanted to check out all the electronics and see what this is all about.

At the time, I didn't have any guys anything.

So in this video, I want to show you the things that I love about.

I can have it up and they be some of the things that I don't so much love.

But maybe you guys would like to check out.

And it's changed so much since I got here that some of this stuff when I first got here wasn't around.

Now it is, and I can't show you all of this cool stuff.

All right, let's go check out Gavina all you're talking about.

They're probably expecting to see a bunch of animals.

So let's start here.

Number one Anna Mae shopping.

Akihabara has an abundant supply of animation up.

Still, let me break down my top shops right behind me.

Is there a joke icon right by the station.

And it has all these cool action Biggers.

And then it also has some like trading cards.

Just so many cool, different things, and it's freakin 10 floors.

If you guys don't have a lot of time and you want to get that enemy experience, then definitely this is the place to go.

All right, let me go inside and show you guys what?

At this joint, you won't find many comic books, but what you'll find is a sheet load of enemy goods, action figures and trading cards.

Also some cool Japanese board games.

While it's pretty cool, you can actually get banners here.

Does this suit me?

There are so many action figures here.

It's crazy like Japanese gold products in love toilets.

Look at all these magic, the gathering cards and for all the ladies out there.

Don't think I forgot about you.

Right behind me is Animate Girls Station.

It has all of the stuff that you may be interested in.

There's actually a few other animate locations in Akihabara, but this one is for the ladies.

Let me show you why and get this party started.

Animate is a walmart of taco specialty shops.

It basically has everything under the sun, and they just build this girl station last summer.

Yeah, that's what they called it.

This is definitely a Cuba girl station.

Check this out.

I love it.

They have, like, touch screen maps now all over the city.

It's like having your own phone when you don't have the Internet available.

You got these maps all over the city, and right behind me is gamers.

It's anomaly of lives where they have a lot of comic books.

They also have character goods and audio goods.

If you're into that, all right, let's get Armand gone.

Gamers used to be a video game shop, but now they've diversified into enemy comics and character goods targeted towards guys.

Look, we got brave borns.

A little insider tip, just between you and me.

They sell preorder specials and also carry limited edition items.

And it has all these sorts of comics for men, women and all of the freaks you can buy used and are ready comics at Mondo Rock.

Hopefully one or the other, not both.

And if you're looking for some rare items, you may find it here.

Oh, and some interesting doll parts.

So if you guys are looking for some more amateur comics than this is a place to go.

It's called Tora No Ana, which means hiders hole.

It's right next to the main animates stores, and we have or animate stuff in Baquba Culture Zone.

There are six floors of variety shops here and at the top floor there's a backstage cafe and on the bottom basement, for they actually have a theater.

I'm gonna show you something that's really, really cool inside, Let's go.

Akiva Culture Zone is pretty similar to Radio HQ Icon, since they both have a massive selection of action figures and trading cards.

I love these figures.

Look how creative that is.

I mean, look at all this stuff, cards, cards and you guessed it.

More cards.

Number two costly.

Now, if you're looking to go full of tuck it, then I've got the place for you.

Check out the costumes at a cost on the fifth floor Baquba Culture zone.

I think I should get the pink pause or the great pause.

Check this out.

If you guys want to do something a little bit different, there's this place right behind me.

It's called the Studio Crowns.

You can dress up as an anime character, and they'll take photos of you in a professional studio.

So it's pretty cool to is you can take the costume and walk around all through.

Not Akihabara.

They even have makeup options.

You can completely do whatever you want except do bad things in these costumes, so it's pretty hard to find.

But it's right next to Cocos and the building.

It's called Sasaki Building number three Beef cut 80 need son, I'm so excited to share this secret with you.

This is my favorite beat Katsu place in all of Tokyo.

Sitting underground behind me is you cut C E T knees, son, If I could take heaven and fry it, this is what it tastes like.

Oh, man, I'm so excited.

Let's go inside.

So after waiting for about 20 minutes, I finally got in.

The menu is brilliantly simple.

This sashimi like beef katsu with season totally am and rice.

So what I love about this place you get actually cooking meat and just the whole atmosphere of this place is just so old School like feels like you are in Japan.

This'll one is horseradish to the right, So sauce to go with Bobby and my Hoover recommendation is to hit it with a crush.

Salt.

I cooked it halfway on the side and not on this side so I can get that full flavor.

The juice is just like melt in your mouth.

It's so freaking awesome.

It almost tastes like sashimi, like if you've ever had a really, really good tuna, you get the photo, which is really, really bad enough.

It's almost like eating that it just is so delicious.

Number for guts upon this is got to phone.

They have so many cool and unique little toys in these little plastic balls.

I'm so excited.

Let's go inside.

There's so many cool gotcha phone here.

It's amazing.

Let me show you just a few of my favorites.

Check this out.

Look how high you have to go to get Oh, a woman this big Camping involved.

She comes in three pieces.

She comes with the red little carpet Look bad Number five team cafes.

For those of you who like your coffee with a dash of strange and this is Gundam Cafe, I'm so excited.

Let's go inside, look a condom and Banacci do that.

Look at that hazelnut!

Well, if you guys aren't down with big Japanese robots.

Then you may be down with some little teenage girls singing.

I don't know if that came out right.

This is a cafe based on the popular girl band from Akihabara, a k a B 48.

Thank you.

And the Rabbit Cafe.

For those of you who want to rub something warm, fuzzy.

So I know a lot of you maybe wanna visit made cab.

That's actually not my thing.

So we're not gonna be going inside.

But my only suggestion for you guys is that one of the largest ones is made dreaming.

You'll actually see a bunch of girls will be handing out flyers.

So if you want, I definitely recommend them because they actually have some live shows that some of the places it's a little bit safer than going into the unknown places where you might get ripped off a lot of these cafes with food.

And the drinks are not as high quality as you would expect.

So you're pretty much people are going there just for entertainment, so just keep that in mind.

Don't expect too much.

All right, let's move on and check out this square enix cafe.

It's pretty small, but it has some cool final pendency and other stuff that's related.

Thio, that's you.

Something warm to this really cold.

Let's China's missile clam soup surprisingly tastes like cleanse.

Not bad.

Something weird about drinking soup out of a can.

Number six electron ICS, my favorite.

So this entire building behind me is Yoda.

Bucky Camera.

Look out!

Freaking bigot is there is just so much stuff here.

If you have to go anywhere and by electron ICS I recommend going here.

I've actually done on the inside tour of this In my other video, top 10 thanks to New Tokyo.

When it rains, I'll leave a link in the description so that you guys took it out later.

So right behind me is Eddie on and loud boxes here when I first came to Japan.

So it's been here forever.

These two stores are a lot smaller than your Dobashi camera, so I definitely recommend going the other bunch camera.

But if you can't find what you're looking for, which is probably not gonna be the case.

These are some secondary objects.

So this road behind me has a lot of cool computer parts and accessories and stuff like you had a bunch of camera where everything is packaged all nice and everything.

This is like the undermanned computer parts section.

Let's go check it out.

Use laptops, hard drives, more laptops, DVD recorders or Christmas lights and random as tools and parts.

This'll behind me is a big camera.

It's like the second option.

If you don't mind a Daniel about camera, it's pretty big.

So there's a lot of selection here is actually one of my favorite places, but I think we're about camera just closer.

So it's a lot better and tax free like all the other places.

One of these days we're gonna own this drone.

So this area has a lot of cool electronics like parts and accessories.

And like all this cool stuff here, this might not be for you guys.

But if you really like just like walking around, it's pretty cool experience.

And right here there's some cool souvenir T shirts in this vending machine.

Awesome to look at all of these old radios.

I love it right behind me in the lobby Elektronik store.

It's right next to the station Malia Shopper PCs, so you won't find a lot of other stuff.

As you can see, it's not as big as Yoda.

Body camera.

Do it about camera.

I don't think you need any other place to go.

Number seven Baquba souvenirs.

And if you're looking to get some cool souvenir T shirts, check out this walk Walk with total shop.

This one is $10.

Captain Tsubasa even haven't you have a T shirt?

If you're looking for a little more than T shirts right next to it is an adult shop has some pretty freaky and crazy stuff.

They have all sorts of toys, have some videos, and they even have some crazy crazy costumes.

And if you still haven't had enough, you can get some stuff at love.

Mercy Rehrmann, OSHA.

This is my favorite.

Like gadget shops in all of Akihabara.

It has, like, the most random stuff in here.

Uh, I'm so excited to show you guys.

Let's go inside.

You can watch videos a while you're taking a nap.

This is okay, So this would be perfect.

Like leave this at work.

Your wife backs this up for you like a traditional family.

Go on, then.

You bring this to work where this is waiting for you just like cook food.

Watch plates.

Number eight ciabatta If you're looking for authentic Japanese food, deserts, spices and even alcohol, Barra is your place.

Let me take you inside and let's have a look.

I originally wasn't going to include this place in the top 10 because I thought you'd be waiting for your phone to charge.

Boring.

I was pleasantly amazed by all the unique Japanese food goods.

Look at all these different versions of soy sauce.

Thistles for sashimi.

This is for egg and rice.

This is for Moti, and this is garlic soy sauce.

Soy tastic.

Look at that.

Here, try there.

It's very it really takes extra Berries.

I'm so surprised.
