Rainy Akihabara

 

I wanted to go to Akihabara, never miss it when in Tokyo, and took the base bus to the military New Sano Hotel. I saw the gift shop in the lobby and decided to snap a few shots of the goods and prices..

 

The shop was packed with guests and goods and this is but a small selection of their inventory.

 

Divide all the prices you see here by 100 and you've get the approximate USD price.

 

The moment I stepped out of the hotel, it started to pour hard and it's a 10 min walk to the nearest subway station, here at bottom..

 

 

Event though it was Saturday, there was a surprising amount of school kids in their uniforms on the trains and subways.

 

Not a school girl but one of the elegantly dressed women who often ride the trains and subways. Owning a car in Tokyo is very expensive

 

Rainy Akihabara, at last
