Chipmodder: My Trip to Akihabara
March 10, 2010 on 7:58 pm | By admin | In GamingAkihabara (Tokyo) is huge. It’s a gamer’s heaven with street after street of gaming and computer shops. I thought Pan Thip Plaza in Bangkok was big, but this is an entire district dedicated to computers and consoles. I saw everything from Nintendo Wii modchips to old 80s computers for sale.
It’s also in a good location - just a 10 minute walk from Ueno Park so after all the madness of Akihabara, you can get some peace and quiet in the city.
I’d recommend a trip to Japan in March / April or October / November as the weather is perfect then.
