Akihabara
Once strictly for the suburbs, Sushiro lets fans in Tokyo’s otaku district enjoy tasty sushi and still have plenty of cash left over for anime merch.
Only a few weeks left to visit the idol singer eatery, plus possibly one more Akihabara landmark.

Sellers often claim to be deaf and ask for random Japanese people to “sponsor” their travel expenses.
Real-world manifestations of affection from 2-D crushes cause massive lines on a weekday morning.
