Electric Town (Akihabara):

This place used to be where you could find any electronic part you could imagine.  Warrens of underground shops, stalls and booths where you could find parts pilfered from everything imaginable.  It seems to be morphing into Anime town.  Full of Sony, Sega, and everyone other gaming companies stores.   It is completely overwhelming.  It is hard to imagine such a concentration of people playing all sort of games.

There are entire floors of  "crane" games.  Varying skill levels required, and really weird prizes.  The Angry Birds prizes are the most normal thing I saw!


Floor and floor of widescreen video games.  Other floors dedicated to retro games of the 80's 90's and beyond.
