Akihabara has become a real tourist hotspot for otaku (geeks) from all over the world, drawn to the colourful Electric Town they've read about and seen online, and hoping to get some bargain figures or comics.
Even over the nine years we've been coming to Japan we've seen a massive increase in visitors.
In this video, Steve goes on the hunt for some quieter areas, away from the main stretch.
In this video we highlight:
1) Creepy vending machine corner
2) Super Potato retro games shop and arcade
3) Golden Age toy shop
4) Hanabusa Inari Shrine
5) Railway tracks towards Okachimachi and Ueno (Seekbase, Mandarake, Uamou Gallery and other shops)
