1. Akihabara Radio Kaikan

Akihabara Radio Kaikan, originally established in 1950, was once known as a mecca for electronic components. The old building was demolished in 2011, and the current 10-story complex opened in 2014. Now home to over 30 specialty shops selling figurines, doujinshi, trading cards, and models, it has become a central hub for anime and otaku culture, drawing fans from around the world. It’s also known as a key location in the anime *Steins;Gate*, making it an iconic landmark of Akihabara. Located right outside JR Akihabara Station's Electric Town exit, it’s a spot that’s sure to catch your eye—even as we pass by quickly on our tour.
