In Akihabara, there are quite a lot of staff members who master 20 languages of the world. Communication here can be going on smoothly without any problems. Customers can easily purchase the overseas model products.
Things to do in Akihabara:
1. Retro Games? Get it at Super Potato スーパーポテトレトロ館秋葉原店
Super Potato isn't really a shop, it's more like a video game museum where you can buy stuff. The store is actually from western Japan, but its Akihabara shop is the centrepiece and it has been visited by countless Japanese celebrities. Want a Japanese Famicom? Or how about a Dreamcast? Japanese PC Engine Games? This cramped, multi-storey shop is packed with them, like some great gaming repository.
