Back to Akihabara and Shibuya Part 1
Today was a mix between going to Akihabara and Shibuya. My friends wanted to get something at Akihabara and we all decided to go there. Well, at least this time, I didn’t buy anything. I was able to restrain myself from buying anything. Well originally, we were suppose to spend the entire day at Shibuya but my friend wanted to go get his To Heart 2 WP edition from Akihabara… We also lost track of time and we hurried to Shibuya…
The morning began with us all walking through the mall that is connected to our hotel…
This sale has been going on for quite sometime…
We started to walk towards the station…
A long the way we saw this bear thing…
Stopped by at the 7/11 so I can withdraw some money…
What I noticed is people spraying the road with the hose. I don’t know what that really does besides cleaning it.
Looks like they are putting up a Haruhi poster on the wall…
We continued on our way to Ikebukuro Station…
There is already a lot of people at 10am in the morning…
We waited for the train to arrive…
It pretty hot right now too…
The train arrives and we get on. Everytime I get on the train, it feels a lot better!!!
Arrived once again in Akihabara…
TV posters…that is so nice!!!
Akihabara in the morning…
Say there was a line up in Gamers…I stood in it too. It seems they were selling the new edition of Megumi magazine and if you buy it at games, you get a free Nanoha Movie poster.
The line took some time…
We continued to travel…for a while…
I have to say, this place I went to had cheap figures. I think I say GSC Len and Rin for 3000yen each here…good deal…but so many floors…
My friend made a quick stop at Melonbooks…
Decided to visit this Aso Bit City…
It had some good stuff and some cosplays too…wouldn’t mind getting one if they weren’t mostly girl cosplays… I don’t do crossplay…
Gundam guarding the store huh…
After going through all the levels of Aso Bit City, we decided to leave…
Japanese style parking…so high tech!!!
We say this UFO machine place…where the staff are maids…
We headed over to Mandarake…We basically went through all the floors minus the BL section…sorry but yaoi isn’t my thing…
Since we were getting hungry, we decided to get some lunch…
24 hours and fast filling food…I’m up for it!!!
I got full from this!!!
Well, I kinda explored a bit more while my friends went to Sofmap…
After meeting up with my friends, we realized that it was pretty late…so we all quickly went to the station to head to Shibuya…
Waiting for the train takes a while…
We arrived in Shibuya and man was it crowded!!!
Just wow!!!
Shibuya crossing!!! So cool!!! So many people on the street at the same time…
The famous 109 building in the background…
We decided to explore a bit…
Just the amount of people is pretty amazing…
A HMV that is 5 floors high…back home, HMV was way smaller than this…but just wow, 5 floors…
Games huh…
Many people looking around…
That is one big shoe store…
I’m pretty to find Outback in Japan…
A clothing store…
I don’t know what’s inside but I can’t go in…yet…because of the time schedule we are on…
Line at Baskin Robbins…
Some group preforming…
We went to 109…but that was a bad idea…all female clothes…
I remembered that there is a 109 mens, we headed towards to department store.
A gundam truck pass by saying to get the limited edition CD release of Gundam 00.
Waiting for the light to change…
Went to the men 109 building. Sadly, there wasn’t anything I want…
Before I leave, I had to take a picture of this famous dog. I believe the dogs name is called Hachi and also there is a movie that is being made about the dog.
The memorial to Hachi…
I boarded the train and what I find…a lot of people…I got on the train during rush hour…great…
Arrived back in one piece…
I missed this so bad!!! A cool Starbucks coffee…I needed this…
Well, my friends and I headed back to the hotel and rested up a bit before heading out to for dinner. After a filling meal, we headed to the arcade to play some games a bit. I went back to planning Border Break.
It was around 11:45PM when we left. The streets still have people hanging around too…
Well, tomorrow I plan on going to more places than Akihabara…Harajuku is currently on my list on places that I need to go to…

you guys ever play something called medal games at the arcades? My friend for some reason got so addicted to it and everytime we went to an arcade he’s always like “dude let’s go play medal games!” lol. Even years after we went to Japan he’s still talking about playing medal games haha.
btw when you withdraw money from the atm do you just use your usual atm card from home? (hm just took a minute to look it up…I guess using your ATM is a slightly better option regarding exchange rates, though other fees might still apply…)

Must have had nerves of steel to not buy anything today. Shibuya is one city I would definitly visit if I ever make it to Japan. But unfortunatley no job no money maybe someday. There’s a blogger that lives in Shibuya, goes by Shibuya246, and does some great articles. Also the statue of the dog called Hachicko is a great place place for people to meet, and is a very true story Shibuya has a feature at his website. Also the american actor Richard Gere is set to make a film on that dog. hopefully it will be a good movie. A very heart warming story about a Dogs devotion to his master. Can’t wait for the next installment of photos, have fun!
