Akihabara Station
Stroll the streets of Electric Town at a time when computers and video games were just beginning to appear on the scene.
With overnight stays costing as low as the price of two meals, travelers can save big and relax in comfortable rooms situated right in the heart of the otaku capital.
A little-known milky paradise awaits those who know where to look at this busy station in the capital.
Dramatic scenes were captured on film today as specialist teams and truckloads of equipment were sent to the busy station in Tokyo.
