Today we went back over to Akihabara to seek out anime shops. We found multiple, multiple-story stores full of action figures. It was fun to have already been somewhere as it was much easier getting around. The weather was much clearer and the views of the rainbow bridge were awesome.
One can climb a lot of stairs in Tokyo.
We found an awesome electronics store that had kits to build your own tube stereo systems. They had a few of the kits fully assembled. The coolest CD player ever, with a tube preamp. Wasn’t quite ready to throw down the 100,000 yen on the kit though. Casey bought some VU meters for 100 yen each. The store had a display of the meters alligator clipped onto a home-brew break out box.
We ran across a store specializing in old video console systems and games and it was full of people.
We had good tempura and cold noodles.
Heading home tomorrow, guess we should pack.
