Shopping, dining, etc. for foreign visitors

Speaking of Akihabara, it is characterized by the sale of electronic products, the town of idols such as AKB48, and the town of anime character figurines.

As a sacred place for figures, if you exit the JR station in the direction of ATRE 1, you will find the Radio Kaikan in front of the station.

This Radio Kaikan is lined with figure shops, and at the same time they sell various figures, they also buy them, so people are looking for people who bring figures that have gone up in price on the market, or characters whose prices are likely to go up in the future. Of course, there are many foreign enthusiasts, and many come to Japan for this purpose.

Japanese anime is a big industry, and live shows and movies are also popular, and it is on a growth trajectory. It is expected to become one Japan's major export industries, with sales of 3 trillion yen in 2022 and its popularity overseas is growing. Anime has contributed to the growth of a wide range of industries, including television, movies, videos, distribution, music, merchandising, live performances, and overseas.
