Hi, Patricia. my friend really likes you and wants your Number. 😀
I went to Akihabara 😮 last year. ! I didn't see these things 😮. Also, I wanted to use an electric scooter, but I have an app called LIME and that did not work in Tokyo
Can make content in narita
Great video as always.
I was looking for an old hamtaro gba game and found it in super potato, while it might be always packed and perhaps a bit pricier than other places, they do have things you wont find anywhere else
love always ur content .
Akihabara is such a FUN area of Tokyo! I love the Super Potato retro video game👾 store and Akiba League sports bar. ⚾️
I just left Japan
I miss it already 😢😢
Going to Tokyo for sakura season the first 2 weeks of April and I will be staying the whole time in Akihabara.
だって僕は超オタクだから。
aila kawaii!!
I just got back from Tokyo this Saturday but we didn’t hang out at Akihabara. We did go there for dinner on 3 different days as they do have a really good variety of restaurants and it was only 4 stations away from our hotel in Ginza
I love your content, congratulations! But for the last few videos, it hasn't been possible to add Spanish audio and subtitles. Why is that? Greetings from Mexico.
Can never have enough Akihabara
Really appreciate your videos. The Patricia-Aila combo is goated!
I have been to Akihabara many times when I visited Tokyo, and as this vlog proves, there are still so many hidden gems that I never came across. Many thanks, will use this vlog as my guide on my next visit to Akihabara
He just came in and ate us 😂😂😂
Да нефиг там делать, тупо пересадочная перед Токийским вокзалом. Хотите норм б.у. и раритетные гаджеты – вся Япония для вас. А это рай для дурака.
Love the roof-top Batting cage ⚾️
🙌🙌🙌Alia and Patricia. I miss Japan🥲
Vid request: What if the girlies spelunked around Kabukicho?
Does the channel name being "Tokyo" Cheapo mean we will never get Kyoto/Osaka/Fukuoka/Hokkaido etc area content ?! Would love for it to be … Japan Cheapo lolol
Glad you got Retro G in there and glad Star Wars Battle Pod is still there! I'm heading back to Japan/Tokyo in September so hopefully it's still there when i get there.
Yodobashi!
Man… i miss Akihabara, i always go here part of my annual Japan trip. It was last year in Oct, i was playing Initial D arcade at Gigo, then a 2 Malaysians tapped on my shoulder, because he saw my player tag and country, it was so wholesome we ended up battling each other
2:24 I’ve had it in Chiba. At the C-One shopping center. The store is named something like Omede Taiyaki.
As a toy collector and Tokusatsu fan, Akihabara is one of those places in Japan I just cannot leave out of my itinerary every time I visit Tokyo. Akihabara, Nakano, and Ikebukuro are my “holy trinity” of favorite places to visit when I’m on the hunt for action figures and chogokin stuff.
