1:35
I promise you, you will be amazed by the variety of fish and seafood on display
1:40
and completely engrossed in the very busy atmosphere of the markets, a mayhem of scooters, trucks, sellers and buyers
1:48
The famous tuna auction is held in the inner market. The number of visitors to the tuna auction is limited to 120 per day
1:55
If you wish to see the auction, you will need to apply at the skyline. Skana Fukia Center
2:01
You then need to turn up very early in the morning. Entry is on a first come, first served basis
2:07
and entry through the Kashidoki gate starts at 5 a.m. In the outer market, retail shops and restaurants cater to the public
2:15
For any food lover, Skiji Market in Tokyo is an ultimate culinary paradise
2:20
A visit to Skiji Market should definitely be combined with a fresh sushi breakfast or kaisidon
2:29
We now heading to find me some breakfast Some um eapbook can write So traditionally you have a brawl of rice and a selection of fish for breakfast today
2:49
And that's what I've been wanting to have for ages. And finally the day has come
2:57
Do you want to go back to the other place then? We are in Akkobara, the electronics and anime and manga districts of Tokyo
3:40
To have some fun! There are things like maid cafes here, you can buy toys
3:46
I am right now looking for Tamagotchi. I'm going to look for Baby Godzilla
3:51
Baby Godzilla. Looking for puzzle? You could come here. This is a soft map by the world
3:58
Soft Mart by the way. It's one of the big electronic shops that there are loads of them around
4:04
I think we're going to head to the shop that has loads of these. Yay! I have the donut one
4:24
These are Gatchikon, aptly may in because of the noise that they make
4:28
Gatha, Gatra home when it pulled down. And they're a big thing here in Aka Hara
4:34
They're actually big shops just filled with these machines. Remember these guys
4:39
Well, they weren't colourful when I was a kid, but yeah, Tamagocchi's
4:44
Takes me right back to my childhood. That's Cipa's daughter. I want to be that
4:48
I was his daughter, I mean. My bomb. Akihabara is a district of Tokyo, famous for its pluffer of
4:58
electronic shops, arcades, manga and made cafes. Contrary to common belief, Akihabari was not named after anime or manga, but after a shrine
5:08
Akiba, the firefighting shrine which was built after a devastating fire in 1869
5:13
Day or night, the Akihabari Denki Gay, which translates to Akiabara Electronic Town
5:18
has a vibrant energy though in fairness so does most of Tokyo Hundreds of electronic shops from tiny stalls to giant shopping malls line the main street Chul Dori You can buy anything from the newest computers and cameras to second playstations
5:34
hugely expensive retro memorabilia, and electronic junk. For any gadget down, the area is amazing
5:41
And it's been difficult to find, isn't it? Yeah. It's in this big building
5:49
Look, there are maps here in English. Yeah, that's it, there's that other one that we're looking for
5:56
Yeah, is that what we need? Yeah. Tokyo Leisureland and Super Potato
6:03
There is Lao Super Potato. I want to try a maid's cafe
6:08
You want to play from a Seaglofen? Oh look here, it says how much can meal and maid cafe
6:19
isn't what it once was. It earned its legendary status as a home for electronics
6:23
But as those became commodities available anywhere, thanks to the web, the focus of Akiabara started to change
6:30
Soon, there were more and more stores selling DVDs and manga. As those grew in popularity, other stores shifted their focus to cater to these new types of customers
6:39
In recent times, Akiahara has gained the reputation as a center of Japan's Otaku culture
6:49
How do you play that song in your other video? How might be
6:53
You see you like the light by it? Are you wanting like the bells of temples and stuff
6:59
It's tiny. What? Yeah, Spider-Man is black
7:09
You're from another parallel universe. But they're doing this thing right now where all the universes have collapsed
7:14
and now there's only one planet left. So there's two Spider-Man now. The one that we know is the black
7:18
You know, it's a black one. The TACO roughly translates to fanboy or fan girl
7:23
While it generally refers to those passionate about manga or anime, it's really anyone with an intense interest in a certain topic
7:31
Just a short walk from the subway station, the main street is lined with tall buildings
7:34
covered in colourful ads depicting sales and anime characters. Their names you'll recognise, like Sega and many you definitely won't
7:42
Head to Akiabara if you seek stores that specialize in anime, manga
7:47
retro video games figurines card games and other collectibles does man right yeah that's it
8:00
quite spooky is this like I think this is a sex shot
8:18
Go to Akiabara in the evening and an even more obvious example of quirk
8:23
the Otako culture will appear. Every few stores will have a young woman outside
8:27
dressed as a maid or anime character, handing out flyers for drink specials
8:32
Maid cafes are sub-cafaces. category of cosplay restaurants found predominantly in Japan. In these cafes, waitresses, dress
8:39
and made costumes, act as servants and treat customers as their masters or mistresses. Today most
8:45
customers have made cafes are Japanese tourists from other parts of Japan
