# Akihabara Electric Town

Capsule-toy machines, called gachapon, are the highlight here. The first floor of Akihabara Gachapon Kaikan is full of them, so kids go wild there. Yodobashi Akiba, an electronics store, has more in its toy section, which also stocks toys for toddlers. Then, for trains, the McDonald's just outside JR Akihabara's Central Gate has second-floor seats facing bullet trains and local lines. And for children who love anime, Radio Kaikan's ten floors of figures, games and cards can fill hours. So these indoor stops, one after another, can fill a day.

- Area: Tokyo
- Type: Shop
- Hours: Hours vary by shop; the town has no single opening time.
