Back when we started the whole “TokyoStreetView” project, we started to cover Tokyo’s most famous, or shall I say iconic locations. But with time not only our gear changed and we decided that it was about time to revisit some of them and give you yet another taste of what they can offer. Today we will guide you through the streets of Akihabara with another one in our “Walking Around” series.
Back in early 2000, Akihabara was really the world´s best place to purchase electronics, computer parts, cameras and so on, but almost two decades later, Akihabara is just the ghost of what it used to be. Sure you can still find some interesting stuff there, but the choice of places where you could go have been cut by a good 60%.
Most of the nice stores that we used to shop at have disappeared and now sell online or have been replaced by a scary number of these cheap tourist traps called Duty Free stores. Still, Akihabara is a place that you have to visit once in your life, but besides the occasional stroll to the Yodobashi Akiba in order to play with the latest cameras or to compare products, goods deals in Japan are now on Amazon.jp or Kakaku.com.

A la naissance du projet “TokyoStreetView”, nous commencions par des reportage sur les plus célèbres, ou devrais-je plutôt dire, les plus iconiques des endroits de Tokyo. Or depuis le temps, notre matériel a bien évolué, et nous souhaitons revisiter quelques uns de ces lieux afin de les apprécier sous un nouvel angle. Aujourd’hui, nous allons vous guider dans les rues d’Akihabara au travers de cet épisode de notre série “Walking Around”.
Au début des années 2000, Akihabara était la référence mondiale pour l’achat d’objets électroniques, de composants de PC, de matériel photo, etc… mais après presque 20 ans déjà, Akihabara n’est plus que le spectre de ce qu’elle était. Vous trouverez encore du matériel intéressant, mais le large choix de lieux qu’il est recommandé de visiter a presque chuté de moitié. En effet, les bons magasins où nous avions l’habitude de faire escale ont disparu et ne proposent désormais que de la vente en ligne, ou ont été purement remplacés par ces pièges à touristes que nous appelons “Duty Free”. Akihabara reste toujours cependant un endroit à visiter au moins une fois dans sa vie, mais en dehors d’un saut occasionnel au gigantesque magasin Yodobashi Akiba pour jouer avec les dernières caméras, les bonnes affaires au Japon se trouvent desormais sur Amazon.jp ou Kakaku.com.
