🚶‍♂️‍➡️Under the clear night sky, the cobblestones of Ueno Nakadori shopping street glimmer under the soft glow of street lamps, flanked by storefronts that still exude the nostalgic charm of the Showa era. The scent of yakitori drifts on the breeze, mingling with the laughter of regulars and lightening my step.

Once I emerge from the arcade, the neon of Akihabara’s electric town abruptly floods my vision, sparking a surge of excitement. Countless displays flicker vividly, and the gentle glow of maid café signs beckons.

Transformed in an instant from quiet nostalgia to a whirlwind of technology and pop culture, this district feels like a portal to another world. Drawn by the light spilling from a narrow electronics-shop alley, I wander through a small maze, awakening a curiosity that had slumbered within me.

Silent figures absorbed in retro gaming and the smiling faces framed in maid café windows—alive well into the late hours—make the streets pulse like a living creature.

With each step where nostalgia and futurism intertwine, I’m wrapped in a pleasant tension that carries me just beyond the edge of my everyday life.
