If you’re an anime lover, if you love technology and are a bit obsessed with some idol groups, then I’d suggest Akihabara is the place you have to visit in Tokyo, Japan. We spent the whole afternoon there and could’ve done more (if not for our tired feet). We started our journey from Tokyo Station, as we were staying nearby (about 10 minutes walk). We saw a woman wearing traditional kimono (or is this still a …
