Talk:Tokyo/Akihabara

See & Do
Transportation Museum is now officially closed. Any substitutes that can replace the listing in the article?
 * Can anyone descibe more on the shops and things there?

Can anyone list a few hobby shops in the Buy section? Thanks in advance.

First picture
The picture is not from a manga and anime shop, but from a pachinko shop. I think it should be replaced.


 * 2nd picture, you mean. Fair point, I've changed the caption until a better one comes along. (WT-en) Jpatokal 07:58, 18 June 2007 (EDT)


 * If this is in regard to the picture of the Evangelion-themed pachinko parlor, I changed it. "Even pachinko parlors in Akihabara are anime-themed" suggests that an anime-themed pachinko parlor would be less common outside of Akihabara when they're really all over the place.  I know of a handful just in the Susukino area of Sapporo and more in other areas of town.

Moved to Talk for time being

 * Standard-issue business hotel located right outside Akihabara station. There is a Web-based reservation system, but it expects a Japanese name, address, and phone number. The hotel will be closed for renovations starting March 31st, 2008 and will not reopen until 2010.

Street closure on sundays
it seems that chuo dori no longer closes on sundays ever since the knife attack (I'm here now and it didn't close, and that's what I read elsewhere). That should probably be removed. --(WT-en) Thenickdude 08:57, 27 June 2010 (EDT)

I was at Akihabara today (September 25th 2011) and the street was closed at 13:00. I too was confused if it was going to be closed at all since I went there before noon. Might be a good idea to add that it's closed at 13:00. rgds, anon. exchange student in japan
 * Um, I don't know what was going on today exactly but that is totally non-typical of the area. (WT-en) texugo 11:56, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Which temple?
I'm translating the page to French, but I could not figure out which temple the page is talking about. Maybe it is Kanda shrine, but it is located in Chiyoda. Any idea?

Radio Center - isn't that gone?
I never knew this by name, but if the Radio Center was what I think from the description then it's been gone for a while already.
 * I searched the web a bit and it seems that Radio Center (near the station) is still opened. Radio Store closed in 2013 though. — Fabimaru (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
