Akihabara Travel Guide 2024 | what to do, where to shop, what to eat 🇯🇵

[Music] [Applause] [Music] he guys good morning today we're going to explore Akihabara I don't come here very often but when I do I always try to show my friends the highlights and actually while researching for this video I found even more places to show and take you guys around so hopefully this will be helpful to you as a guide when you come and visit Akihabara for the first time I found out that a lot of the establishments in Akihabara don't open until 11:00 a.m. even the place we're going to today it's one of the very few um cafes that aren't the chain that open from 9:00 a.m. so yeah let's [Music] go [Music] so now we're at akioka artisan and it's an area in between habara and okachimachi they're two stops on the Jr yamot line and it's like this artist Collective with a lot of boutiques cafes and little knickknacks so hopefully you can find some nice souvenirs here for back home and yeah let's check it out it's actually my first time here but when I saw it I felt immediately drawn to it so that's what we're going to do we're going to go walk around and see what's up here this says please come and sit here it's just all sofas oh this is a really nice gift idea it's like a [Music] pouch they have everything they even have a sock store it's made out of Marina wool nice that's going to keep you really warm go to 600 this is actually a very long Corridor of different artisanal crafts workshops and I can't believe I haven't been here before there's so many things to look at and I know Akihabara is pretty much known for anime but this is some place you shouldn't skip out on if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind souvenir to bring back Co I think what is thatum DaRuMa and [Music] [Music] cats so right now we are at this place calledo and they specialize in yakon it's a little farther from the main area of Akihabara which I kind of like it's a little quieter we ordered this special oaku do they only have they only limited to qu orders to day I normally don't eat a when them out of the house because it's simple to make at home but I think what makes it special is the quality of ingredients that they use after this we're going to see some other attractions in the main street [Music] of [Music] so we just came from T shendo and it was so good like actually I wouldn't normally pay like 2,000 Yen for an oyakodon because like I said earlier you can easily make that at home but the amount of I think difference in quality of the ingredients that they use you can really taste it and I'm not normally one to say that as we were leaving we heard one of the customers say that he saw them on TV and that's why he came so the minute we left the restaurant we saw this huge line right outside the door and I think that's a testament to how good it is and I didn't really see any other tourists yeah now we're going to go to the main area of Akihabara and start [Music] exploring let's look for the weirdest gachon item wait never mind I think I won this looks really strange I kind of want this um how much is it ohu oh that's so cheap okay I really want it now strch baby so cute this a oh what it's a watch no like a watch just like a just shine oh okay so they like that's so cute how about you did you find anything you like I'm looking for okay you have to get something strange like the baby I [Music] got I'm guessing this is a collection of things you can buy there's something for everyone even Harry Potter gotcha you like these yeah look C are they praying cute this is like empty empty head okay just being there inste kind of want this one oh they're all fire type I just realized I got it you put it in your key I really wanted this one so cute how about yours sh go Dar super cute oh wow you can get the Stella Star from spikes family [Music] oh Lloyd it's a bit dangerous if you go in there with your adult money but it's a lot of fun love this city our next spot for today is called bu buso hon Shen and um it's where you can buy a lot of items for cosplay so if you're into that I think you'll enjoy this one a lot where is it it's it's pretty near like just a few steps away it said okay so short wow this is for cosplay all of this right it looks really well made wow so if you're into cosplaying like period dramas I guess yeah then this is the [Music] place it looks like one of those like joke make it like looks like it's in there's something inside something like dangerous inside so these are jokes from different manga yeah that's cool yeah I think when they ship they're going to put oh my God it's an envelope yeah invoice inside one of these like envelope and then those are from different kind of mangas this is like a Georgia [Music] right my dad has this your dad or he bought it for you no no he had it but for himself I had this is my first Pokemon ever no this is mine you had this one I had the yellow one well my older brother had it then he gave it to me I and this is my very first FA color you're really geeking out which Zelda is this uh tank oh oh I had this too what's up do you remember my friend uh-huh like including I invited my friends to my house and we played how many years ago was that 20 years no 15 [Music] years so our next St for today is a place I've gone to a few times since Sho and it's called Trader basically you can sell your gaming console and you can buy used games here as well yeah so yeah let's check it out let's go oh my God so many memories Nintendo so cute CH yeah have a lot of J guys [Music] Desmond so now I'm going to take you to one of my favorite spots in Akihabara it's called soft and it's a giant secondhand store of electronic items and I actually bought my laptop and cameras here so I bought my camera here and my laptop that I use right now so let's go they have rankings this is not so [Music] bad [Music] after soft map I want to bring you guys to a place with an interesting name but if you like American Comics is one of the best places to Source them um it's a shop that specializes in it so let's go the name is kind of interesting it's called blister sh go found it so let's go check it out blister so I didn't misread [Music] it [Music] I wanted so [Music] bad you'll find a lot of these random electronic stores selling anything and everything honestly just on the side of the [Music] road I'm a little out of breath because we just climbed up a really steep set of stairs to we get the kandin which is a shrine also known as the anime Shrine also known as a shrine for Commerce and a lot of businessmen and salary men come here but I guess because of its proximity to Akihabara it also became an anime Shrine so you'll see what I mean there should be a lot of adime motifs in this area if you have bad fortune you tie it here a lot of people believe that if they tie it closer to the sky it gets to heaven or something faster or something like that so yeah don't quote me but this is just what I've [Music] heard our last stop for today is place called eute it's right by Akihabara station um and it's filled with a lot of different shops boutiques and a few cafes so that's where we're going to end today I really enjoyed taking you guys around but we're not finished yet so let's go and have some coffee and sweets at this Cafe that I've been wanting to go to for a [Music] while [Music] what's this oh my gosh it's for kids you want to get this one and I love this squash this looks nice maybe I'll get this one should all send it yeah so originally we were supposed to go to this other Cafe called station or stda but apparently today they're only taking taking people who reserved in advance so that was my bad on my part for not researching that enough but it was a happy coincidence because now we are on the literal train tracks there's a cafe and um it just you'll see the trains later Pass Me By it's really cool and I didn't know about this until today so you know there's a silver liing to everything I guess [Music] oh [Music] oo so that's the end of our akih Haba guide thank you guys so much for watching and as always I'll leave other recommendations in the description box down below thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you next time [Music] bye
