[2012] World's Largest Anime District : Akihabara, Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD]

- Akihabara, also called as Akiba, was an electric town when I was a kid. I remember that in those days my grandma called the town not Akihabara, but Akibahara. I didn't know the town was once called by a different name and I was like: 'Hey, grandma! Not Akibahara but Akihabara!'. Come to think of it, 秋葉原 (Akihabara in Kanji) can be pronounced in both ways, Akihabara and Akibahara. But I've digressed.
People used to visit there to get electronic parts, audio components, or home appliances at that time. It is still the largest electric town in Japan, but it is now more well-known as an "otaku town" and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tokyo. You can find everything about anime, manga, games and other "otaku" things there. Even if you are not interested in them, it could be still fun to feel the Akiba atmosphere and get electronic equipment at a reasonable price.

It warms my heart to see men and women of all ages playing on their 3ds's in public, in america its taboo or something where I live at least
An ENTIRE DISTRICT for anime and electrical thingies.....Can I just bring a sleeping bag and live there??
it'd be pretty expensive.
@@damiester1 Idk about that.
0:53 - 1:00 seeing as how 100 yen is less than a buck in US currency, this kinda looks like a dollar store. Or is this just one bargain bin among others???
Moving to Japan would be like living inside my own head
Whats that supposed to mean loool?
that's a very good way to put it! sometimes I fantasize about it as well....
no it wouldnt. japan isnt like what they show you on animes
@@averagecommenter1601 Yeah you are spot on it’s not perfect but one day I’ll definitely visit Tokyo
The cities and the Japanese country side look great from what I’ve seen
Seoul will be another place I’ll HAVE to go to
Japan is not anything like anime and it isn't a utopia either the problem is feeling alienation and culture shock there if you can handle that kind of stuff you'll have a great time here but expect to be lonely in your first months or year it can take a while to meet people just my two cents of advice have a nice day.
Its like my wonderland
SAME ! TTwTT
Some people are talking about the black guy and the Asian guy (probably Japanese) at 4:38. I think I should describe something. The clip was taken at the camera department in a large electronics store where you can try new model cameras. It seemed like they were friends. I was pretty sure, when I saw them, the Asian guy was trying one and pretending to shoot his friend in fun. It surprised me that some people considered it as rude or discrimination just because someone was pointing a camera at a black guy. I should be considered as very rude and as a racist. There are some black girls and guys in my videos :P
Lol
So I suppose some people might see me as a racist when I hang out with my closest friend......because I definitely take photos of him like the Asian guy at 4:38, geez...... It's a bit demoralizing to know that there are people out there that jump to such a one sided conclusion from the single short scene without any context. People of different skin colors can't be seen as friends? That would be sad:(
I hear ya. But I'm black and I thought that part of the video was really funny. "Oh wow, a black person!" click click click click click click. And you're probably right about them being friends, that's what I was thinking since the guy being photographed didn't seem upset at all.
You're overreacting. It's probably an obsession with political correctness.
Andrzej M. Who me?
Americans and other countries on their phones? Bitch we on our DS
Akihabara is awesome! I can't wait to go back!
currently staying a short walk away in asakusabashi. such an amazing place

Uzumaki Naruto Good luck with your low paying job and 15 hours of work everyday not mention almost none of the girls care about dating, and japanese is really hard to learn, there is tons of prejudice against foreigners, it will be alot harder to get hold american entertainment, tsunamis, do you really want to move?
Wow you two are rude af . I know this comment is 6 months old but you could at least cheer him on instead of being so negative .
English isn't the only language in the world , at least he is trying to so others can understand . And it seems you did , :/ .
DatAssCreed
Im stating the facts and the facts are Japan is a shit place to live and Japanese is really hard to learn, and no shit i know that English is not the only language in the world im Norwegian.
Barack Obama You didn't get the point of my comment . What I was saying is that you should tell him the Positive facts about Japan not the negative ones .
The English part wasn't to you lol . .
I worked at Iwamo tocho for a year. So near to akihabara. I bought my yamaha keyboard at akihabara. Nice place. Hope to be back again at tokyo.

I've been to Akihabara... Sigh. When I was in my teenage "anime is too childish for me" phase. So I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I could've. T_T I hope I can save up and go back to Japan someday.
I WISH I CAN GO TO AKIHABARA SOMEDAY!!!

It's actually not as crowded as it looks, you get used to it after a few weeks:) I love akiba! And this brings back so many memories from when I was last in Japan:)

nerd heaven
No its not dis is normal japan
*****
I'd rather say otakou heaven as it is possible for a nerd to have no interest in Japanese culture.
*****
Hum well you don't have to go there if you are not interested in anime or manga but anyways let's not fight over something this silly. ^^
Charizzard リザードン but if i'm interested in tech stuff, but no interest in anime, i would still go there.
*****
Looks like I didn't know enough on Akiba! And to be honest I've never been there so as you've experienced it you must be right. And it's not about you that I was talking when saying that we should not argue on little details, it was mostly for me who loves debating ^_^". Anyway, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for info i was looking after this car for long time!
Can we exchange heaven for Japan when we die?
No
Cool town! Classroom country! Cool people! And in general I love Japanese, Japan, theirs technology, culture, architecture, landscape design, and especially ANIME !!! For ANIME you great respect - a masterpiece! I want to be as much as the creator of our anime! After the Our Ukraine - Russian war, which lasted for more than five hundred years, it will be necessary to go to Japan! I hope that my Ukraine will be as developed as Japan!)))
this didnt age well :(
You guys are totally right, but I can't deny that i've gotten interested in Japan because of their anime, I don't know you, but with me was like that, and today I love Japan for the same reasons as you ;)
amazing !
when travel to Japan...
normal : Let's go to Tokyo !
otaku + fan anime ,manga and vocaloid : AKIHABARA !!!!
l love Japanese
i love the old videos
WOW that is so Awesome, I didn't know the Iphone could take such good video.
I'll exchange my future wife over living in Japan. lol
Someone had told me that there is a lot of pollution in Japan, almost as much as China. lol. I have seen how bad it is in China and I see nothing there, in this video.
You were completely misinformed Japan strives hugely to cut down on pollution Tokyo has a very low pollution amount some US cities have even more. I've herd about China smog sorta adding pollution to Japan.
jigglemankiller
I want to get rid of my whole wardrobe and fill it with Japanese clothing
Incredible video! Thanks a lot for sharing! I find that funniest thing is Nintendo place.
Красивый город интересные люди мечтаю там побывать.
Reminds me of oreimo lol
OTAKU LAND
