Known by the nickname Akiba, Akihabara, or the area mainly around Chuo Street and Kanda Myojin Street, is known as one of the world's largest electronics towns. The area is dotted with stores of various sizes, from major retailers carrying the latest computers and smartphones to small stores carrying component parts. Akiba is also known as a Mecca for anime fans from around the world who love to hang out at shops carrying Japan's latest anime, comics or idol goods, or at maid-themed cafes. It is bustling with inbound tourists and customers looking to purchase energy-saving home appliances. Have fun looking for your personal treasures at "Treasure Island" Akiba.
Just a short walk from the main street is Kanda Shrine, which has been around for close to 1,300 years.
