This self-styled “Creative Life Store” aims to be a one-stop shop for all your retail needs and desires. The larger branches sell everything from outdoor camping equipment to animals and pet supplies, and you can often find more gimmicky items in its toys and electronics department (electronic beer dispensers and oddly-shaped sandwich toasters—that sort of thing). Free WIFI and tax-free services are available in most branches. In central Tokyo you can find branches in Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza, Ikebukuro, and Tokyo Station.

A 9-floor shopping complex, the first six floors of which are occupied by the electronics chain Yodobashi Camera. This branch is the biggest consumer electronics store in Japan (and maybe the world). There is a tax-free counter and English speaking staff are on hand. Heaven for gadget-lovers.

Radio Kaikan

Iconic building near the JR Akihabara Station Electric Town exit that reopened in 2014 following the demolishing of the old building in 2011. When it first opened in 1962, it was the first “high-rise” building in Akihabara. Today, it has moved with the times and the focus has shifted away from electronics to manga, anime, and “otaku” goods.

Akihabara Radio Center

Warren of booths under the rail tracks selling retro gadgets and electronic components that is an icon of Akihabara.
