Hi! I'm going to Japan in December and, as an otaku, I'd like to know some lesser-known places to visit.
In a post about the closure of the last Toranoana in Akihabara, I learned that the neighborhood is now much less attractive. Oh, I have no doubt that for a shonen fan, the neighborhood is still great, and I'll definitely stop by, but I want to know some niche places—after all, that's why I'm going to Japan.
I already have a few places in mind (like antique bookstores, and I'm going to C107 too).
I also plan to stop by Toranoana in Ikebukuro.
But if you have any recommendations, I'm not sook. I've been looking at things considered “weird” since I was 6-8 years old, and I'm passionate about things that make people look at me funny. So for old-school otaku, please share your favorite places and neighborhoods. No matter how obscene or niche they are.
Thank you. I hope this culture doesn't disappear.
