Yodobashi

If there’s one store you have to stop at in Akihabara, it’s Yodobashi Camera. This insane electronics megastore has the widest selection of toys, videos, computers, laptops, cameras and audio equipment you’ll ever find in one place. At 9 stories tall, plan to spend at least a few hours here emptying your wallet.

Every major camera brand you can imagine, but of course there’s only one tha matters — Nikon!

Huge selection of Audio-Technica headphones and you even get to try before you buy.

    I’ll be all over those headphones, too bad Toronto doesn’t have anything like this at this scale. I just noticed that the fourth picture has shuffles being used as arrows, thats neat. I wonder other brand of headphones they carry..

    I’d probably just buy a toy dispenser. Those look interesting.

    Cameras look cool but I’m not into high end photographic technology.

    The headphones look cool as well but no thanks.

    The anime dolls? Uh. No.

    But the experience of visiting that place? Heck yeah. Its worth it and its priceless…. minus the $1000 or two travel fee.

    That place makes Best Buy look like a joke.
