A city full of history. Around the station it feels modern, but the farther you get from the station, the more it feels like you’re time-traveling back to the Taisho and Edo periods, which is really fun.
I also recommend the "Poku Poku" sweet potato treat from the long-established Japanese sweets shop Kurazukuri Honpo.

I took some photos of the parts that still have that old-school Electric Town vibe!
These days, Akihabara feels a lot more centered on subculture, so the classic electronics district atmosphere has faded quite a bit. That’s a little sad, honestly. -

If you visit the Kamaboko Museum, it’s also worth stopping by the restaurant and gift shop next door!
Of course, I bought some kamaboko to take home! -

Yushima Tenmangu is known as the shrine of learning.
During exam season, it gets crowded with lots of visitors. The ema plaques are filled with wishes for school entrance exams and certification tests.
So many real, heartfelt hopes on display. I hope everyone passes!! -
