--- Quote from: LukeW on March 09, 2024, 03:08:26 pm --- Akizuki is good - don’t just look at the ground floor, you’re missing most of it. Follow the signs for the sus-looking maid girl cafe, that’s the right way to get to the upstairs part of Akizuki. --- End quote --- LOL, that's the reason I didn't go updtairs! More seriously, I'd been a number of times before pre-pandemic, and didn't remember there being an upstairs, so assumed the ground floor was all there is. Furthermore, here's a tip for young players (and parochial old farts like me), I found at least some of these stores only take cash. One time I went shortly before the pandemic, I ended up having to do the walk of shame to find an ATM and return to pay. I doubt I was the first (or the last) to fall into this trap. I won't be repeating that experience again. Cash is king in Japan. |

The upstairs at Akizukidenshi is relatively new, within the last year. More stock is more betterer I say! :D |

I have often mused about visiting Akihabara and other sources of such goodies. However, after some reflection, I've come to understand that if I ever get into that neck of the woods, I'm going to go bankrupt before lunch on day 1. |

A couple of other good ones: Sakaguchi is right next to Aisan, next to the train station. http://sakaguchi-dennetsu.co.jp/akiba.html Specialists in heating elements, PTC heaters, pad heaters, temperature PID modules, cartridge heaters, ceramic insulators, thermocouples and all sorts of heating components. and Rocket Amateur Radio Hongkan, which is on the next street just north of Keisokuki-land. This is another speciality shop for amateur radio hardware. |
