Akihabara is also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai).
It is located less than five minutes by rail from Tokyo station, Tokyo,
Japan. It is sometimes shortened to Akiba by locals. While there is an
official locality named Akihabara nearby, part of Taito-ku, the area known
as Akihabara (including the JR railway station of the same name) to most
people is actually Soto-Kanda, a part of Chiyoda-ku. (read
