Super PotatoWelcome to Akiba The first stop of the Akihabara tour is a retro video game store that is considered a treasure trove for game lovers, especially for those who grew up experiencing the rise of the Japanese video game industry. Here you can listen to the 8-bit video game keyboard music which you can hardly find anywhere else! Your guide will help you find and buy all the old fashion video game machines and disks.
