Akihabara

Chris Belgrave: This place is awesome, check out the back streets as they have a lot more going on and you discover more as in terms of food and tech.

Mark Williams: On rainy weekdays, AKIBA ICHI can be very busy during lunch time due to all of the workers above not wanting to go outside.

Mara Ledda: They sell english game versions. Worth checking out

Telegraph Manager: 4pm: The energetic should hop on a train to Akihabara, aka Electric Town, and have a quick shop in gadget nirvana Laox Duty Free (1-15-3 Soto-Kanda, Chiyoda-ku; 0081 3 3255 5301; laox.co.jp).

naveen: Must-go: retro gaming mecca; bring yen to play the arcade games upstairs. Getting lost in Akiba & then stumbling into this spot was the moment that got me to quit my job to go off to start foursquare.

Mohammed Al-Thani: They have a lot of figures and memorabilia from anime, manga and games. Must visit!

Wan Chen: Weird how their adult section is on the first floor, just beside the new releases section without separation. Although all books are wrapped, there some demo books you can browse

Maxim Ushakov: Pay attention that basically electronics in Japan is 110 voltage. Be careful and check not to be disappointed.

Isaac Soriano: The staff is very kind , even if they don't know English they will find a way to help you don't be afraid to ask. This store holds everything of everything (eg. more than 300 sqm of headphones)

Shimron Lim: Don't forget to produce your passport for tax exemption purposes.

Hampus Andersson: If you're not a fan of 18+ material, don't go to the top two floors. It might be too much for you!

Steve ‘Pudgy’ De Rose: There are various pricing deals for DVDs on each floor in this edifice. I bought JAVs on floors 7 & 8. I believe all floors accept credit cards.
