Akihabara Changing Fast

"Did you know Akihabara is fast changing? Lots of office towers now. And Maid Cafes.”

Anime-themed stores are replacing those dingy back alley electronics shops.

And, it’s now possible to find a place to eat.

Four years ago, about there was was a stand-up curry restaurant.

Now all the major chains have moved in – KFC, McD, Excelsior Caffe, MOS Burger,
Dennys, Jonathon's.

And the convenience stores – 7/11, Sunkus, AM-PM, Family Mart.

All to meet the needs of the workers in the new buildings.

Ask My So-Called and Kotaku and they'll tell you the same.
