so in this video I'm gonna show you guys
my top 10 things to do in Akihabara
[Music]
when I first came to Japan Akihabara was
my primary destination I wanted to check
out all the electronics and see what
this is all about at the time I didn't
have any guides or anything so in this
video I wanted to show you the things
that I love about I can have it up and
maybe some of the things that I don't so
much love but maybe you guys would like
to check out and it's changed so much
since I got here that some of the stuff
when I first got here wasn't around now
it is and I get to show you all of this
cool stuff alright let's go check out I
can have it at all you otaku out there
are probably expecting to see a bunch of
anime stuff so let's start here number 1
anime shopping Akihabara has an abundant
supply of anime shops so let me break
down my top shops right behind me is a
joke icon right by the station and it
has all these cool action figures and
then it also has some like trading cards
just so many cool different things and
it's freaking 10 floors if you guys
don't have a lot of time and you want to
get that anime experience then
definitely this is the place to go
alright let me go inside and show you
guys what ah at this joint you won't
find many comic books but what you'll
find is a sheath load of anime goods
action figures and trading cards also
some cool Japanese board games wow it's
pretty cool you can actually get banners
here
does this suit me or this one there are
so many action figures here it's crazy
like Japanese school products and the
toilets look at all these Magic the
Gathering cards and for all the ladies
out there don't think I forgot about you
right behind me is animate Girls Station
it has all of the stuff that you may be
interested in there's actually a few
other animate locations in Akihabara but
this one is for the ladies let me show
you why and get this party started
animate is a Walmart of otaku specialty
shops it basically has everything under
the Sun and they just built this girl
station last summer yeah that's what
they called it
this is definitely a kiva girl station
check this out I love it they have like
touchscreen maps now all over the city
it's like having your own phone when you
don't have the internet available you
got these maps all over the city and
right behind me is gamers it's
predominately a place where they have a
lot of comic books they also have
character goods and audio goods if
you're into that all right let's get our
man god gamers used to be a video game
shop but now they've diversified into
anime comics and character goods
targeted towards guys once they got
rayborn's a little insider tip just
between you and me they sell pre-order
specials and also carry limited edition
items and Monda rockin it has all these
sorts of comics for men women and all
the freaks you can buy used and r-rated
comics at manda raka hopefully one or
the other not both and if you're looking
for some rare items you may find it here
oh and some interesting doll parts
[Music]
so if you guys are looking for some more
amateur comics then this is a place to
go it's called Murano Anna
which means tiger's hole it's right next
to the main animate store and we have
more anime stuff in Aqaba culture zone
there are six floors of variety shops
here and at the top floor there's a
backstage cafe and on the bottom base
before they actually have a theater I'm
gonna show you something that's a really
really cool inside let's go I'll keep a
culture zone it's pretty similar to
radio Kaikan since they both have a
massive selection of action figures and
trading cards I love these figures look
how creative that is I mean look at all
this stuff cards cards and you guessed
it more cards number two cosplay now if
you're looking to go full or tuck it and
now I've got the place for you check out
the costumes at a cost on the fifth
floor of akeeba culture zone I think I
should get the pink paws or the gray
paws
[Music]
check this out if you guys want to do
something a little bit different there's
this place right behind me it's called
the studio crowns you can dress up as an
anime character and they'll take photos
of you in a professional studio so it's
pretty cool too is you can take the
costume and walk around all throughout
Akihabara they even have makeup options
you can like completely do whatever you
want except do bad things in these
costumes so it's pretty hard to find but
it's right next to Coco's and the
building it's called SOG a building
number 3 beef cuts it et me son I'm so
excited to share this secret with you
this is my favorite beef cuts a place in
all of Tokyo sitting underground behind
me is you cut suit et knees son if I
could take heaven and fry it this is
what it tastes like oh man I'm so
excited let's go inside so after waiting
for about 20 minutes I finally got in
the menu is brilliantly simple this
sashimi like beef katsu with seasoned
Toro yam and rice
so what I love about this place is you
get to actually cook your meat and just
a whole atmosphere of this place it's
just so old-school it like feels like
you are in Japan
this one is horseradish to the right is
soy sauce to go with the rossabi and my
uber recommendation is to eat it with a
crushed salt I cooked it half way on
this side better they're not on this
side so I can might get that full flavor
[Music]
taste all the juices just like melt into
your mouth
it's so freaking awesome it almost
tastes like a sashimi like if you've
ever had a really really good tuna and
you get that Morimoto which is a really
really fat tuna it's almost like eating
that it just is so delicious number four
ketchup on this is gotcha phone they
have so many cool and unique little toys
in these little plastic balls I'm so
excited
let's go inside there's so many cool
gotcha phone here it's amazing
let me show you just a few of my
favorites check this out
[Music]
look how high you have the co2 get this
a woman this big camp isn't involved she
comes in three pieces and she comes with
him the red little carpet like a bad
number five themed cafes for those of
you who like your coffee with a dash of
strange and this is gundam cafe i'm so
excited let's go inside look I got
condom and banaji I wonder how to do
that look at that hazelnut well if you
guys aren't down with big Japanese
robots then you may be down with some
little teenage girls singing I don't
know if that came out right this is a
cafe based on the popular girl band from
Akihabara akb48
and the rabbit cafe for those of you who
want to rub something warm and fuzzy so
I know a lot of you maybe want to visit
maid cafes that's actually not my thing
so we're not going to be going inside
but my only suggestion for you guys is
that one of the largest ones is made
taemin you'll actually see a bunch of
girls they'll be handing out flyers so
if you want I definitely recommend them
because they actually have some live
shows at some of the places it's a
little bit safer than going into like
it's unknown places where you might get
ripped off a lot of these cafes the food
and the drinks are not as high-quality
as you would expect so you pretty much
people are going there just for the
entertainment so just keep that in mind
don't expect too much all right let's
move on and check out this square enix
cafe it's pretty small but it has some
Bastille Final Fantasy and other stuff
that's related to don't let's use
something warped in this really culture
let's try this mean sell clam soup
the sessions
surprisingly tastes like perhaps not bad
something weird about drinking soup out
of a can
number six electronics my favorite so
this entire building behind me is yo
debauchee camera
look how freakin big it is there is just
so much stuff here if you have to go
anywhere and buy electronics I recommend
going here I've actually done an inside
tour of this in my other video top ten
thinks that it was Tokyo when it rains
I'll leave a link in the description so
you guys can check it out later so right
behind me is Eddy on and Laos Lux is
here when I first came to Japan so it's
been here forever these two stores are a
lot smaller than yota Vashi camera so I
definitely recommend going to you own a
bunch of camera but if you guys just
can't find what you're looking for which
is probably not gonna be the case these
are some secondary options so this road
behind me it has a lot of cool like
computer parts and accessories and stuff
not like you had a bunch of camera where
everything is packaged all nice and
everything this is like the underground
computer parts section let's go check it
out use laptops hard drives more laptops
DVD recorders or Christmas lights and
random ass tools and parts
this behind me is big camera it's like
the second option if you don't find
anything any other bunch of camera it's
pretty big so there's a lot of selection
here this is actually one of my favorite
places but I think leader box camera
just closer so it's a lot better and tax
for you like all the other places one of
these days we're gonna hone this drone
[Music]
so this area has a lot of cool
electronics in like parts and
accessories and like all this cool stuff
here this might not be for you guys but
if you really like just like walking
around it's pretty cool experience and
right here there's some cool souvenir
t-shirts in this vending machine awesome
dude look at all of these old radios I
love it
[Music]
so right behind me in the lobby
electronic store it's right next to the
station million shopper pcs so you won't
find a lot of other stuff as you can see
it's not as big as Yoda budget camera we
go too much to camera I don't think you
need any other place to go
number seven ah Cuba souvenirs
and if you're looking to get some cool
souvenir t-shirts
check out this walk walk with Photoshop
and this one is pinned on Captain
Tsubasa Luke leave in heaven I can have
it a t-shirt if you're looking for a
little more than t-shirts right next to
it is an adult shop has some pretty
freaky and crazy stuff they have all
sorts of toys they have some videos and
they even have some crazy crazy costumes
and if you still haven't had enough you
can get some stuff at love mercy
[Music]
rare monoshock this is my favorite like
gadget stops in all of Akihabara it has
like the most random the stuff in here
haha I'm so excited to show you guys
let's go inside you can watch videos
while you're taking a bath so this would
be perfect to like leave this at work
your wife packs this up for you like a
traditional family would and then you
bring this to work or this is waiting
for you and you just like put your food
place number eight ciabatta if you're
looking for authentic Japanese food
desserts spices and even alcohol
chef Farah is your place let me take you
inside and let's have a look I
originally wasn't going to include this
place in the top ten because I thought
it'd be waiting for your phone to charge
boring I was pleasantly amazed by all
the unique Japanese food goods look at
all these different versions of soy
sauce this is for sashimi this is for
egg and rice this is for mochi and this
is garlic soy sauce soytastic look at
that there's just so many cool sweets
like it feels really looking to get
souvenirs for people back at home I
suggest that this is probably one of the
coolest places it's like really fancy
desserts and it's just very very
Japanese goods wow they even have all
sorts of cool and interesting sake here
let's try the strawberry
sake
it really tastes like strawberries I'm
so surprised it's good here's the bottle
wow they even have mochi bars look at
that wait wait wait I think I just fell
in love look at all of these local
Japanese beers behind me number nine
really weird finning machines this place
is so random they have softballs I have
jingle bells they have beetles just so
Japanese random so check this out
random boxes and each one has a little
story written inside it costs 490 yen I
don't know what the frig is inside we're
gonna find out let's use lucky number 13
[Music]
so I just got something that was a
little bit x-rated story so I won't
translate but let's see oh I guess this
is the rest of the story here yeah so
the rest of the story is in here we
won't tell the story but you guys really
want to try to read it and translate it
figured out
Japanese lesson and we get choco bot its
chocolate bread sticks well I don't know
if that was worth 490 n but for you guys
I'll do anything
[Music]
and number 10 via keto dish ammonia this
behind me is ammonia it's one of the
most cost-effective yakitori places
around this area and it is super
delicious
there is actually several good yakitori
places in Ungowa
but this is one of the most top rated
ones so we're gonna go inside can I love
this place and don't worry they have
English menus virtual high five
[Applause]
[Music]
you can taste the charcoal that it's
been real wind I'll have the meetings
like just turns off this is like little
crunchy bits which is the cartilage in
there it's so delicious the juices are
just flowing down like the waterfalls of
Niagara and then reefs alter and then
just worked on this a little bit bigger
I really love the crunchiness but
nothing really crunchy but it's like the
toughness of the meat it simply is
amazing and when you go to the yakitori
place this is one of the things this
cabbage with mayonnaise and some special
sauce let me show is really really good
here oh that's why she got some like I'm
oh it's very fresh very light
[Music]
the taste of the rare with all the
flavors of the rare beef comes out and
the onions and the wasabi just mix in
there so well check this out guys it's
motsu rico me which is like i guess you
would say in test times do but onions
and soup is so super white everything oh
my god cold today

heart all at the same time hashtag

melted in my mouth
definitely one of the coolest places
about this is that the yakitori here is
only like a hundred two hundred fifty
