We visited Akihabara on Japan’s second day of reopening to tourism!! Akihabara (秋葉原) is a neighborhood known for electronic goods and Japanese pop culture. It’s an extremely high energy part of town with plenty of cool shops, anime, arcades, games, maid cafes, and more!

  1. Thank you for uploading in your youtube! I did recommend at Akiba. We call on 'Akiba'.
    Did you eat for the Tsuke-men too? You are so amazing! Is it oily for you?

    Anyway did you received on interview too?! We have got a polite and the omotenashi.

    You have got a Japanese people already in my opinion. Have a wonderful day too.

  2. I am Japanese. Japanese curry is reputed to be delicious. Ramen is also popular, but you should try a different flavor next time. Try the soy sauce ramen!

  3. Gald to see you wear your mask in japan, alot of selfish westerners are scared of wearing one

  4. 日本満喫してますね〜
    最近急に寒くなってきたので体調気をつけてくださいね。次の動画も楽しみにしてます!

  5. オススメにでてきて動画みました。

    Suicaを購入したようですね😊
    自動販売機で飲み物を買う時や、コンビニで買い物する時、駅やバスを利用したい時、飲食店、買い物でも使えます。
    レジの横に、Suicaのlogoがあれば使えます。わからなければ、「suica tsukaeru?」と聞いたら答えてくれますよ。

    魚が苦手なら、しゃぶしゃぶ、焼き鳥、とんかつ、カツ丼、すき焼き、お好み焼き、オムライス、ナポリタンなどの食べ物がオススメです。
    また日本各地に、「ご当地グルメ」というものもあるので東京以外に行く場合は調べてみてください♪

    日本を楽しんで😊

  6. As an American, where did you get the Vaccination Certificate to be able to get in? Is the vaccination card enough? 🤔

  7. hello.

    If you don't like fishy fish, try sushi and eel.

    Sushi has a refreshing scent, and eel has a very fragrant and good smell, so please try it!

  8. hello.

    I'm watching this video from my home in Akihabara.

    I love seeing foreigners enjoying Akihabara.

    Thank you for coming!😊

  9. もっと多様な日本食に挑戦すべきです。お金を払う分、見返りは充分にあると思います。日本人の食へのこだわりは半端ないと思います。

  10. Welcome to Japan! Hope you enjoy your stay!
    Have you ever been to Tsukiji area?
    There are good area to eat sushi and many fresh food shops and restaurants.

  11. 最近の秋葉原は閉店ラッシュですよね😂
    観光客は気になってるお店あれば早めに行くことをおすすめします。

  12. Great snapshot of Akihabara! I was there a few years ago, definitely a must-visit place. Would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing, it brought back lots of fond memories.

  13. 秋葉原の雰囲気好きです。
    今は電器店、アニメショップは少なくなりました。
    20年前は沢山お店があって見ているだけで楽しかったです。
