Electronics
Hundred of electronic shops can be found in Akihabara in such stores such as
Ishimaru Denki, Sofmap and Laox. Often these lager shops can be found in the
center of town immediately off of the train station. While many smaller shops can
be found in the narrow side streets.
Manga, Anime, and Games
Over the years specialized shops have formed allowing you to find almost any
kind of specialty item you are looking for. In addition you will find Cosplay and
other Adult specialty shops.
One should take the time to get off the main road (Chuo-dori) and explore the
parallel side streets. Good deals can also be found there and that is a nice
break from the crowded main avenue.
