>/jp/ is it still worth going Akihabara is 2026
Nah, it's too popular for its own sake.
Hell I'd probably extend that to whole of Tokyo

>>51381967
Damn all of Tokyo?
Are there any good, less popular otaku spots you know of?

>>51381956
>Akihabara
Depends on what you're looking for.
I've never gone, but from what I've seen it's a shell of itself/tourist trap now. There is no shortage of niche shops in Japan. If you're looking for "less popular" places to hang out with native otaku, go to any underpopulated otaku izakaya that fits your fancy. I'd recommend one, but I've never been to Japan because I'm poor ;3

I love Akihabara; he nulls Phys and Gun.

I like Akihabara despite the tourist trap. It has many amenities, is central to Tokyo, and has *a lot* of maid cafes. If you want a maid cafe-focused trip, there really isn’t anywhere better to stay.

Also, it goes without saying, but it’s probably the best place to stay if you’re an AKB48 fan as well.

Half of akiba front is not even japanese anymore, is full of chinese and korean franchises lmao

>>51381956
it's still fun but in a fun tourist trap kind of way and like noone lives there so the shops all close kind of early and the nightlife is dead even by tokyo standards.

is den den town still good? i wanna buy VNs next time i'm in japan and can't decide between going to den den town or akihabara.

It's the best out of the two, especially if you're looking for retro games

I wish I could have visited Akiba in the 2000s

I feel blessed I got to go around 2006. I went there a dozen times on the weekends, AMA

Hiroshima. Not even joking.
