The Mecca of Otaku, Akihabara

#tokyotrip When it comes to the virtual world of 2-D, nothing beats the Japanese anime production which is the best in the world. And to fully immerse onto it, Akihabara is the very place as the Mecca of the Otakus ( which means a person super obsessed to virtual world who never or seldom comes out from it). The whole stretch of street mainly comprises of themed based anime shops, glass case for those who wishes to sell their goods and merchandises, and figurines shops for hard core fans. There you can also see many cos-players mimicking characters from animes, and the street is completely closed for vehicles on weekends. Besides, there are also maid cafes operating at various corners for those who wanted to have the experience of being served by waitresses dressed in "maid" costumes.
