Akihabara or Akiba is famous as otaku nerd central.
It's full of anime merchandise, arcades and maid cafes, and it's one of my favourite places!
We're at Kanda Shrine in Akihabara. We've walked through the backstreets and managed to find it.
It's like an anime shrine (because it's Akihabara).
These are the wooden boards that people write their wishes on, and people have drawn anime characters on them!
Shrine gachapon!
We're going back to the main street in Akihabara now. We're going to look for anime figures and play in the arcades.
So many floors....
This is Kotobukiya, one of these best anime figure shops. They do really good quality figures.
Monokuma
I hope I get this one.
Oh no!
The gachapon machine stole Phil's money, so we got the guy inside to fix it
And somehow managed to explain it to him in Japanese!
So what have you got, Phil?
I've got...
Bomb suit Monokuma!
Too far over...
We've been looking round the arcades, trying a few claw machines...
...not won anything - I don't think it's even possible to win!
We've been looking at lots of figures.
We can't film inside many of the arcades but I've done what I can, to show you the outside of the buildings so you can see what it's like.
We found a whole shop full of gachapon!
It says: Gacha - Pon
Look: I found hamsters!
Which one will I get...?
It's got a grey back...
I think it's that one!
Oh man...
They're all nice, so I just hope I don't get the same one!
It's the one with the red apple.
Don Quijote is a shop that sells all kinds of crazy things. It's definitely worth a look.
Look what we found! "Mawashite Purin"!
We found the Gundam Cafe and the AKB48 Cafe.
All these guys are waiting for the show.
We've just been to Maiddreamin' maid cafe where we had some really cute desserts and we had our chekkis with the maids.
Thanks to Abi we watched the live show as well, it was really really good!
Moe moe kyuun!
That didn't work at all, did it...
[frustration]
[disappointment]
Next time you can do it!
I don't know...
Agh, failed!
Maybe...
Ahhh....
Not enough
I'm going to try and get it from the front.
Come on come on...
No!!!
Is that impossible now?!
I don't know, it's pretty hard
It's gone back to the start!
