Akihabara Street Scene at Sunset

Mon, May 23, 2011, by Muza-chan

For me Akihabara, the Tokyo’s Electric Town, was always a friendly place. But after sunset, when the omnipresent colorful ads shine, the place is even friendlier.

Here is the area between the exit from the Japan Rail Akihabara Station, with a few well known buildings: on the back right, there is Onoden, opened in 1951, one of the oldest electronic shops from Akihabara, and on the back left there’s LaOX Main Store.
Closer, also on the left side, there are the Radio Kaikan building and the Yamada Denki LABI Akihabara:
