Akihabara

Anything weird in Japan is usually from Akihabara. Of course I had to check it out as it was walking distance from the hostel. Found a locker to stash my bag at the train station and I was off. Arcades, comics, videogames, maid cafes and everything Japanese animation it what you come here for. At first glance it seems like a perfect place for kids, but then you notice all the porn. Every basement is full of it, animated, drawn, and even in PVC figured form. Akihabara is a place for grown up kids. The first place I went was Super Potato, anything retro japanese videogames they have. I played a Nintendo vuturs
and yes what they say is true they make you sick after playing it. The arcade has never died here. The first level are always crane games with prizes that aren't junk. Well to some people I guess. Then you go up every floor and every floor is different, dance, fighting, shooting, and retro stuff.





This is not a real guns just plastic models. Guns are illegal here so this is the closet they get.
 He even comes with gogo action wheel chair, 
What about Theodore Roosevelt?
 These are some of the tame PVC models.

    2. She is working to try and get people in the maid cafe or shop. There are actually many more girls in maid costumes in the street.
