The hustle and bustle of Tokyo's Akihabara is known world wide. For it's colorful lights, eccentric gadgets, and off beat visitors, Akihbara is a must visit destination! Recently I learned that, the area is nicknamed Electric Town because after World War II it became a major shopping center for electronic goods and for the post-war black market. If you find yourself in Tokyo, make sure to take public transit to Akihabara Station and take in the sensory overload of people, sounds, and colors!

Really I feel that the Japan is a great country ever. If the world war 2 doesn't came then what should be the development of Japan??

Hi @erode. If Japan wasn't so heavily bombed during WWII I'm sure there would be many more beautifully preserved old towns and architecture!

Yeah that's fact

Hey @justlibby!
I read your post and am writing about similar things :)
Do you currently live in Japan?
You should visit Super Potato in Akihabara. It's a really cool retro game store/arcade.
Where are you heading to next?
Will upvote and already following lol
Looking forward to more posts!

Very cool! No, I don't live in Japan. I just stayed here for 2 weeks in the camper van. It was pretty fun experience. Ah man! I wish we would have gone to Super Potato in Akihabara! We will for sure be coming back to Japan in the next year.

Next we're going to Costa Rica!! :) Thanks for the support and comments!!

I thought you guys were still in Japan.
I would love to be on your show next time you come to Japan :)

This is legit how I envision the future. Just dope neon everywhere.
