Pancakes in a Maid Cafe in Akihabara - Japan Vlog Day 6

This is the sixth vlog of our trip Visiting Tokyo Japan in September 2015 and features Tsujiki Fish Market and Akihabara. TSUKIJI MARKET Tsukiji Market (築地市場) is Tokyo’s main and largest wholesale market for fish fruits and vegetables. It is one of the World’s largest Fishmarkets, handling over 2000 tons of marine products per day. I promise you will be amazed by the variety of fish and seafood on display and completely engrossed in the very busy atmosphere of the markets, a mayhem of scooters, trucks, sellers and buyers. The famous Tuna auction is held in the inner market. In the outer market, retail shops and restaurants cater to the Public. The number of visitors to the tuna auction is limited to 120 per day. If you wish to see the auction, you will need to apply at the Osakana Fukyu Center. You then need to turn up very early in the morning. Entry is on a first come, first served basis and entry through the Kachidoki Gate starts at 5:00 am. A visit to Tsukiji Market should definitely be combined with a fresh Sushi breakfast or Kaisen Don (1000 yen, currently 5£) AKIHABARA Akihabara (秋葉原) is a district of Tokyo famous for its plethora of electronic shops, arcades, manga and maid cafes. Hundreds of electronic shops, from tiny stalls to giant shopping malls, line the main street Chuo Dori. You can buy anything from the newest computers and cameras to second-hand PlayStations, hugely expensive retro memorabilia and electronic junk. In recent times, Akihabara has gained a reputation as the center of Japan’s Otaku culture. Head to Akihabara if you seek stores that specialize in anime, manga, retro video games, figurines, card games and other collectible. The most surreal experience we had in Japan must have been lunch at a Maids Cafe – hugely popular establishments, where waitresses dress up and act like anime maids and you are turned into their master.
