  • Today we are visiting Yodobashi-Akida in the Akihabara district of Tokyo. Akihabara is known for its electronics stores and arcades. It’s often packed with locals and foreigners on weekdays and weekends. It’s a very lively area of Tokyo where people go for shopping or fun.
    Yodobashi is a well-known brand in Tokyo. They have everything you need, from electronics to everyday items such as DVDs, electric toothbrushes, appliances, camping and sporting goods, toys and figurines, video games and gaming consoles, and way more.
    This Yodobashi store is located next to the Akihabara station where you can ride JR line trains and the Tokyo metro lines. The Yodobashi store in Osaka seems to be bigger and has an extension to its building where you will find other brand stores. The store in Osaka is located in the Umeda district next to the Osaka station and Umeda building.

    Back in the 80s nobody dominates the electronics market like the Japanese all over the world brands like Sharp,Sanyo,Akai,Hitachi,National,Sony and many others what a sight to see the products of these companies in those days now all we see are the substandard Chinese products which is a gamble when you buy one

      You mean substandard trend setting products from Huawei, DJI, Xiaomi? ROFL, get out of your cave and go to get some medication. I bet you are using a substandard Chinese products to post a comment on this youtube video too, wow what a gamble. Having a good education is important. Always.
