I really want Americans to see this place too.
After seeing it, do you still think the atomic bomb was necessary to end the war?
I don’t believe there’s any such thing as a “just” nuclear weapon.

Akihabara Electric Town
Large and small electronics shops cluster in this prominent shopping town in Japan. Nicknamed as Akiba, it is a popular spot not only domestically but also globally. Home appliances, PCs, smartphones, the latest digital devices, of course, but animations, games, figurines, model trains and other pop culture items are gathered here.
I took some photos of the parts that still keep that old-school electric town vibe.
These days, Akihabara feels a lot more centered on subculture, so the traces of its old electronics district are fading. That feels a little sad, honestly. -

Suzuhiro Kamaboko Museum
This is a museum run by Suzuhiro, a long-established fish paste store established in 1865. Visitors can enjoy learning about various aspects of kamaboko, from its history to its ingredients and nutrition.
If you visit the Kamaboko Museum, it’s also worth stopping by the restaurant and gift shop next door!
Of course, I bought some kamaboko to take home! -

Yushima Tenmangu Shrine
Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, is one of the three major Tenjin shrines in the Kanto region. Its official name is "Yushima Tenmangu," but it has been affectionately called "Yushima Tenjin" since ancient times.
Yushima Tenmangu is known as the shrine of learning.
During exam season, it gets crowded with lots of visitors. The ema plaques are filled with wishes for school entrance exams and certification tests.
So many real, heartfelt hopes on display. I hope everyone passes!! -
