Today I went to Akihabara. Akihabara , often called Akiba is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, video games and many collectible goods, including new and used items.

I went into many different stores, mostly electronic stores, I also went in a couple figurines stores.
There used to be a building with many nice stores, including the super potato, but  that building is no more.


I then headed to the Sega arcade


where I found some nice late 80's and early 90's games.


I played a few old games, then a new Japanese online shooting game , Which I understood nothing about.( sorry it was not allowed to take pictures)
I also played a fighting game which I finished with my first coin (I played for a while)

The lunch was ramen again but not as good as the first night.

After lunch I headed to the biggest used manga , toys , video games and anime store there is , Mandarake. There's one smaller in Shibuya.
The Mandarake in Akihabara is a 7 story building.




And what do you find in the Akiba Mandarake ? Godzillas. And the staff was all in Cosplay (but it was not allowed to take pictures in the store) I managed to take a sneaky picture though.
