Introducing…The Akiba Culture Zone!
Earlier this summer, a new department store opened up in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan called the Akiba Culture Zone. It’s basically a department store that sells nothing but products catered to the otaku. There are also clothing stores that sell clothes for geeks as well.
A food court, cafes (a new cafe is opening soon on the 6th floor), & karaoke are all present. I think Akihabara has continued to establish itself as THE place for otaku, though I’m highly interested to seeing how those clothing stores will make otaku “fashionable”.
You know what would be even cuter & also have a huge economic impact? A department store dedicated to fujoshi in Ikebukuro.
For more information & photos, you can read GPara’s article on the new store.
Akiba Culture Zone’s official website is at: www.akibacultureszone.com.
