There
are lots of shops here, and in every building there could be 2-3 shops there.
Sample, in one building: top floor could be a café, middle floor could be a
cosplay shop and underground could be a place for gundams. I was really shocked
with this type of arrangement, you really need to get to go inside and explore
every store to be able to find shops there. Shops that are big and well known
are quite pricey, that is why I suggest to explore each building if you can.
There are shops that sell 50% off and have big discounts compare to others.
Most shops in Japan don’t accept credit cards but no worries there is a foreign
money exchange in the center of Akihabara.
If you are not familiar with the place and google maps are a little bit difficult, you can ask for a map in some shops in Akihabara. With limited English, sellers are willing to help you and some of them are really friendly. I was shocked when one of the sellers from a gundam shop handed me a map of Akihabara and told me where are we can find affordable Anime merchandise. Also when we went to a cosplay shop and we couldn’t find what I was looking for, the staff there suggested me where to find thee other cosplay shops in akihabara and which floors are they located. They are not stingy, I mean they are suggesting their competitor‘s shop.
My favorite shop, all stuffs here are affordable and I can find some rare collectibles as well.
During our visit, Touken Ranbu was the most popular.
Akihabara is really easy to find, once you got out of JR Akihabara station you
will find it easily.
This shop gives huge discount for tourists, just bring your passport.
end :)
