Parts Market

Once you get out of the JR (Japan Rail) Akiharaba Station's Electroic Town Exit (under rennovation), you will be encountered by electronics and otaku stores.  One of the most popular site to visit is the Buhin Ichiba(electronics parts market).  Once you get out of the exit, turn right. 










Right after the rennovation area, you will see a small alley just like this:














Once you step into the market, you'll find hundres, even thousands of electronic parts in the tiny store booths.  Tiny bolts and nuts for your pcs and whatever the pieces used for the electronics.  They even probably the world's smallest the spy cameras, which James Bond can't even handle.  Sorry, but I was not allowed to take any pictures....actually I was warned not to do so, so you gotta be there to see it.

The outside of the building looks like this:











Inside is about a one hundred tiny stores, which are specialized in their own parts.  I was finally able to take some of the stores outside.  If you are a computer freak that loves to build own computers or anything electronic, this is the perfect place to be.
