Guide Books To Akiba
Spotted this post on AkibaToday about this English guide book”The Best Shops Of Akihabara“. It was put together by a dedicated group of japanese otakus who speak English and wanted to help foreigners enjoy their trip to the holy land.
Aother Japanese guide book was Akiba Days 120% (featured on the right) was released by Jive way back on 18 July.Of course this book is cool because the chacters of School Days tells the reader where are the best place to “eat”, “relax”, “play” and “buy” etc.
