more imperial palace, akiba

















some more of the Imperial Palace pictures and we walked around the palace in about an hour. There was some nice gardens, a small bamboo forest area, a koi pond and various building structures throughout the park. After Imperial Palace, we headed to Akihabara, or also known as Akiba. It took a few different trains to transfer to get to Akiba, and a little navigating looking at the map and getting lost a little bit, before we actually found the right area where the Otaku's go to shop for their anime goods. Not too far from the train station in Akiba, was the stores we were looking for, such as K-Books, Mandarake, Volks, and a few other places which was primarily in one building, but it took awhile to find it, as i am not that great with unknown areas. I think next time, i should be able to get around and find. The only thing we didn't get a chance to do, was visit some Manga cafe's, like Mailish Cafe, which will be for next trip, definitely.
