"Field of Autumn Leaves", also known as Akihabara Electric Town, is one of the many famous districts or "wards" of Tokyo. It's a major shopping area for electronic, computers, anime, video games and otaku (the word for "nerd" basically, lol)
goods. New items are mostly to be found
on the main street, Chūōdōri, with many kinds of used items found in the
back streets. Tools, electrical parts, wires, micro-sized cameras, PC parts, and similar
items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda (near
the station). Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like
Laox or other specialty shops near the station, though there is more
variety and lower prices at locales a little further away. It
gained some fame through being home to one of the first stores devoted
to personal robots and robotics.
