Thanks for reporting on these closures. I’ve been lucky enough to visit in the past, and I’m glad I took my sister before the pandemic hit; I’m betting that, in addition to the large closures, the smaller businesses have been hit hard as well. I hope the area recovers.

Walking into gaming areas of Akihabara is like walking into a manmade seizure.

The lights, the sounds, the packed in people is almost overwhelming. Right from the start of the pandemic I wondered how they could survive when they are designed to pack in the punters with barely enough room for 1 person to pass the back-to…

Ahh crap. Unlike the other two closures, this one hurts.
It was always a place I’d drop by on my way out of Akihabara to spend whatever coins I had left on their gacha machines, as they always had good ones out front.
