Where can I buy genuine anime in Japan?

This is a problem that doesn't need to be considered at all

Akihabara, of course

House holy land

Eat whatever you want!

Three holy places for otaku! ! !

Akihabara ... a street that keeps pace with the frontier industries of the times.

Akihabara, commonly known as autumn leaves, as one of the few electrical streets in the world, is now undergoing rapid changes. In addition to electrical stores, business, catering and other services are increasingly complete, and it is developing into a prosperous area with comprehensive colors.

Close to Computer Street

In August 2005, the Tsukuba high-speed railway was opened between Akihabara and Tsukuba in Ibaraki, and the whole journey took only 45 minutes. Tsukuba held the Tsukuba Science Fair in 1985. It is known as a scientific research garden city and a world-famous science and technology center city. It is estimated that there will be many passengers on this high-speed train who are highly knowledgeable about scientific and technological information. Akihabara seems to echo IT, and is accelerating its development into an IT center facing 2 1 century.

After redevelopment and renovation, nearly 20 new buildings will be built in Akihabara. In March, 2005, Akihabara Building, a 3 1 storey high-rise building located at the junction of JR Akihabara Station, officially opened to welcome guests. Since 2002, Tokyo has been leading the implementation of the plan to turn Akihabara into a gathering place for IT-related industries. This building can be said to be a landmark building to realize this plan. Under the goal of integration of production and learning, private enterprises engaged in advanced science and technology application research, research institutions affiliated to Tokyo University and other 18 institutions have settled in this building. Akihabara Building will be the activity center for 4,000 business people and university researchers. In addition, various academic reports, public forums and seminars will be held in the conference center of the building.

In March 2006, another building named UDX Building in Akihabara will be completed and opened in the same area. Cafe, restaurant, digital technology research and education room and multi-functional audio-visual studio are scheduled to be opened on the 4th floor of the building/KLOC-0. The 6th to 22nd floors are rented office buildings, and the first floor covers an area of about 1.400 square meters, where the largest office building in China will be born.

In the future, Fuji Software ABC Akihabara Building and Orix Akihabara Building will be completed in turn. It is estimated that there will be nearly 40 thousand employed people in this street in the future. Akihabara's brand concept of "IT Central District" is quite attractive, not inferior to other development zones such as Liu Xi and Shinagawa.

A street synchronized with the frontier industries of science and technology

The Origin of Akihabara Electric Street

During the Edo period, the area around Akihabara Electric Street used to be the residence of junior samurai. After Meiji, Japan began to enter the era of electrification. Not only began to use electric lights, but also 1926 NHK radio broadcast officially started. As a means of understanding news and entertainment, radio has rapidly spread. Wholesalers selling wires, distributors, switches and radio equipment have also grown. However, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was difficult to obtain motor materials except for military purposes, and even light bulbs were supplied in limited quantities. Such commercial transactions were in trouble. 1945 after the air raid in Tokyo, Tokyo was almost completely destroyed, and the area around Akihabara was almost completely burnt.

Dianqi steet

There are about 250 electrical appliances stores, large and small, centering on the Central Avenue on the west side of JR Akihabara Station and Shen Dao, Tian Ming.

After the end of the Pacific War, the black market electrical appliances stores in Junhetai/Nana Ogawa Town gradually began to sell radio equipment. According to the vendor arrangement of 195 1, all these shops are concentrated under the viaduct of Akihabara Station, which is said to be the origin of Akihabara Electric Street. As a result, such stores finally began to officially sell home appliances.

During the period of rapid economic growth in Japan, household appliances used to be a symbol of prosperity. Black and white TV, washing machine and refrigerator are called the three great artifacts. Under the influence of propaganda such as "Akihabara appliances are cheap", Akihabara gradually prospered. Stores selling computers appeared in the 1970s. At this time, Akihabara has become the center of selling electronic equipment. Since then, the sales of home appliances such as video recorders, recording telephones and stereos have also been rising. But at the same time, with the expansion of home appliance stores and the appearance of discount promotions, Akihabara's advantages in home appliance retail have also weakened.

From 65438 to 0994, the sales of computer-related products in Akihabara Electric Street exceeded the sales of household appliances. Akihabara has gradually become a cutting-edge multimedia street centered on computers, mobile phones and Internet-related products.

In September this year, the Dianqiao camera "Multimedia Akihabara" store located at the east exit of JR Akihabara Station will open. Covering an area of 27,000 square meters, this store is the largest mass home appliance sales store in Japan. It is expected that the opening of this store will attract more new customers.

Game coffee shop, comic teahouse

From 1980s to 1990s, driven by the popularization of computers and the wave of technological innovation, the video game industry also presented a grand occasion. Many game lovers began to visit Akihabara. The teahouse with the scene setting and character dressing in The Imitation Game also appeared at this time. Later, coffee shops dressed by waitresses in The Imitation Game also appeared one after another. Shops that combine comic teahouse and game coffee shop are also quite popular. There are about 10 such shops in Akihabara.

Anime lover's specialty store

Many people who often go to Akihabara are anime lovers. There are more and more shops selling popular anime fan magazines in Akihabara, and it is difficult to get started. There are also more shops selling fortune-telling cards, groceries and toys for animated protagonists.

Internationalized region

According to a survey conducted by Japan International Tourism Promotion Agency in 2003, 7% of foreign tourists have been to Akihabara.

In June, 2004, the Shopkeep Street Promotion Association of Akihabara established the Tourism Department, and distributed maps in English, Chinese and Korean at 120, a hotel-oriented place in Tokyo.

Since the 1960s, Japan's manufacturing technology has surpassed the world's leading level, and Japanese household appliances have also been favored by people all over the world. "Made in Japan" became a symbol of quality assurance, and foreigners who came to Japan for tourism and business began to patronize Akihabara and buy Japanese household appliances (radios, walkman, stereos, etc. ) as a gift.

Duty-free shops and shops with duty-free counters for these foreign customers are gradually increasing. It can be said that Akihabara has become an international wonderful place.

Japan bridge

Traditional old blocks in the development of bridges in Japan

Edo Japan Bridge. During the Edo period, the Japanese bridge area was an important hub of land and water transportation and an important economic and cultural center. As its symbol, Japan Bridge used to be the starting point of five main streets leading to all parts of the country, from here to the south is Donghai Road, and to the north is Australia Street. It is also the residence of businessmen, and the customers of silk and satin shops are mostly the families of noble princes and wives.

Nowadays, the Capital Expressway has been set up in Hashimoto, Japan, and a large number of vehicles come and go every day. This can be said to reflect the degree of industrialization and high economic growth in Japan, but on the other hand, is this also a negative effect? This idea is probably a bit overdone. Anyway, the current Japanese Bridge is in the wave of redevelopment aiming at 2005. What will happen to the Japanese bridge that still retains the old tradition? Let's go and have a look.

The northern end of Japan Bridge

The Japanese Bridge was built in 1603, and later became familiar and close to people as a symbol of Edo. The bridge we see now is a stone bridge rebuilt by 19 1 1, which has been designated as an important cultural property by the state. 1604, after the Fifth Avenue was ready, a large number of tourists poured in from all over the country, and Edo became very lively for a time.

In the Meiji era, the center of the bridge was designated as the starting point of many domestic highways, and today it is still the base point of seven national highways. Under the central road of the bridge, there is a bronze national road sign of Japan.

You can see Mitsukoshi Department Store just a short walk from here. Mitsukoshi Hashimoto, the oldest department store in Japan, opened a cloth shop at 1673. 1935 The completed Sanyuedian Building is still magnificent. There is a stone lion statue at the entrance of the main hall. There are many people waiting for the meeting here all day. Three times a day, there will be the sound of the organ.

There are many old shops around Japan Bridge. Yamamoto seaweed shop is a seaweed franchise store established in 1849. Shenmao is an old shop selling fish cakes and fish balls. Satoshi Hashimoto of Japan has an impressive history of 140 years, and the so-called ancestor-Dianzhu is favored by many gourmets (Dianzhu: a kind of food, fish and shrimp cooked with soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, etc. Yichang county mainly deals in Japanese paper and bamboo products. Edo is famous for publishing Ukiyo-e paintings in the later period, and you can also buy exquisite and beautiful fans here. Japan's Qiaobeixin is also a traditional restaurant with a history of 400 years. There is also Renbian, which specializes in selling dried pine fish and is an old shop opened 300 years ago. These old shops with a long history provide customers with famous products and are worth visiting.

Although Tsukiji has now become a famous central market, Japan Bridge was once a famous fish market. It is said that the fish caught in Edo city originated from the Edo period, and all the fish were sold in the area of Niigata. With the rapid population growth in Edo City, the consumption of fish has also increased, and the fish market has also become prosperous. In addition to the fish market, other projects are also concentrated in the area of Japan Bridge. As the only prosperous holiday resort in Tokyo at that time, I can't imagine how prosperous it was, and I'm afraid even today's bustling neighborhoods are far behind. As a symbol to commemorate the birthplace of the fish market at that time, the "Fish River Monument" still remains in Japan Bridge.

Next, let's go and see the Bank of Japan. The main building of the Bank of Japan was designed by Akiya Chenno, the designer of Tokyo Station. Neo-realism stone architecture creates a solemn atmosphere and is regarded as an important cultural heritage. The next Changpan Bridge is the only existing stone arch bridge in Tokyo. Changpanqiao and the Bank of Japan Library look side by side, which makes people feel the profoundness of history.

The Bank of Japan Currency Museum is a place where the world coins are displayed. Besides seeing about 4,000 Japanese coins and understanding their historical stories, you can also appreciate the different colors and shapes of other countries' currencies, which is quite interesting.

The southern end of Japan Bridge

Takashimaya 183 1 was founded in Kyoto, and 1933 began to open a shop in Japan Bridge. It is a cloth shop with traditional Japanese characteristics. Maruyama is a famous shop selling books, stationery and western-style groceries. Maruyama Library is a special place for book reviews, book reviews and other books. On the top floor of Maruyama Mansion, there is a restaurant with the same name "Maruyama". Beef and onion rice is very popular, and customers waiting for lunch always queue up like long queues. In September 2004, Maruyama opened Maruyama's shop near Tokyo Station. The building at Japan Bridge 1952 is planned to be renovated before 2007. It is said that the famous beef onion rice can also be tasted in our restaurant in Marunouchi, but will it be delicious in Japan Bridge in the future?

Hazelnut was originally an old shop selling Japanese paper raw materials and various Japanese paper products. The Japanese-style paper here has both traditional Japanese style and modern modeling style, and there is a lot of room for choice. Paper lampshade is unique and eye-catching, and it should be a good choice as a gift. 1986 Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the famous band Queen, and other members visited this store and bought wallpaper of about100000 yen (including the freight to Britain) to decorate the London mansion.

Besides, the kite museum here is also a very interesting place. It is located on the fifth floor of Taimeiken, which is a western restaurant famous for its egg-filled rice. Japan and other countries in the world have all kinds of kites, which are very interesting.

You must be tired after walking so many places. If you want some dessert, go to Eitaro or Yamamoto Mountain. Eitaro is an old Japanese pastry shop in Edo, where you can drink tea and eat snacks, especially its small warehouse, Honey Bean Cake. Yamamoto Mountain is an old tea shop opened on 1690. In the shop with ukiyo-e paintings, you can taste authentic Yuanzu Yulu tea and delicious Japanese cakes. If you choose a set meal, there are different kinds of cakes to choose from, such as "Rabbit Palace" gongs, silver cakes and "Nagato" mutton soup. , are old snacks of Japan Bridge, which will satisfy you.

If you are interested in games or toys, go to Pokemon Shopping Center. Besides cards, Pokemon tableware, cloth toys, videos, DVDs, stamps and so on.

In March 2004, the Japanese bridge COREDO opened to welcome guests. COREDO is a name that combines the "core" in English with the "edo" in Japanese. The outer layer of this building is covered with glass, which has the architectural style of the near future, and there are many fashionable shops full of personality inside.

The Future of Japanese Bridge

Mitsukoshi Department Store is now building a new building in Japan Bridge. The super-high-rise building "Mitsui New Hall in Muromachi" is also under construction, and the famous hotel group Mandelin Oriental Group will also land in Tokyo from here. Therefore, more international businessmen and tourists will visit Japan Bridge. In the future, Japan Bridge will surely blend the traditional style of old shops with brand-new international fashion, showing a thriving new atmosphere. Let's wait and see.

Osu shop street in Nagoya

The shopping street with a long history still retains the style of "dismounting pool" where small businesses are concentrated. In addition to electronics stores and computer stores, there are many clothing stores and second-hand clothing stores, which are very similar to the atmosphere of Akihabara in Tokyo. Because there are many kinds of goods in the shopping street and the prices are relatively cheap, customers are always crowded and lively. It is very convenient to get close to the subway station "Dashu Guanyin" and "Qianjin".

Rotten women gathering place! ! !

Ikebukuro in Tokyo is a road extending from the vicinity of sunshine60, commonly known as "Girls' Road". Generally speaking, otaku will be associated with Akihabara, the sacred place where men germinate. Now Ikebukuro, as a female version, has attracted the attention of all parties.

The difference between Ikebukuro and Akihabara is that the street is not an otaku. Until the sunshine building, it is a bustling street that is no different from Shinjuku. From the elegant shop of animate, to the shop of Luo Zhenpan with loyal fans, to the Mantuohualuo specially made for women, and then to the role queen full of characters that girls like very much, it can be said to be the holy land of rotten women. As long as you set foot here, you can have a panoramic view of the story of loving female fans, BL novels and comics, and form your own commodity system. In the "Ziyun Library" bookstore, BL writers' autograph sessions are held frequently, and their influence is gradually expanding.
