- 秋葉原駅 Known as the epicenter for computer games, maid cafes and electronic gadgets. Akihabara Station was literally born out of fire, and a need for greater cargo handling capacity from the north of Japan.
Join me as I take a deeper look at the events that have transformed Akihabara Station from a cargo handling work horse, into a magnet for all things pop culture.

Incredibly well researched. Another fascinating history of an iconic Tokyo train station. Thank you for the hard work. Keep it going.
No problem at all it was a pleasure. More to come soon.
The research into the history, as well as the photos and videos, is absolutely amazing. Interesting to know that the electronics connection began so early. Another great video!
Thank you. I guess Akihabara Station was the perfect ecosystem being a receiving station for goods coming in from the north of Japan and also having the market trading halls in place. This and having the local university up the road and throw in the timing with the war was the perfect soup. Kind of like a silicon valley of the 1940s.
I've been waiting for this one!! It's crazy to see the history behind all of these places and the old pictures are fascinating.
Yeah, it really is amazing. Looking back at some of the pictures from 100 years ago it's really hard to believe you are looking at the same place. Only 1 or 2 recognizable landmarks like the viaduct. I love it.
Mate, yet again, some amazing work! Thanks so much! I had no idea about most of this :)
Thanks mate. I'm very happy you enjoyed it. I really enjoy researching these videos and telling the history of these stations to thoses that are interested or have a connection. I too had no idea Akihabara Station was a cargo station untill a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching.👍
Can believe I am only finding this video now! Subscribed immediately. I am modeling my own version of Akihabara in N scale. Great video!
WOW, I'm sure the N scale model will look amazing once it's finished. Akihabara would be a challenging station to build with all the elevated bridges and viaducts.
It's good to know the history of Akihabara, it's interesting, thanks for sharing.
I agree Lazy_walk_log. I didn't know Akihabara was a freight train station for many years.
Good Documentary, keep going buddy.
Thanks, I will.
Incredible work! Your video helped a lot with a site analysis that I’m doing. Thank you so much!
Anytime, glad you enjoyed it and got what you needed.👍
Fascinating history. Loved your story-tellinbg style. Great presentation. I'm looking forward to going to Akihabara again next year and see it through different eyes.
Yes it's a history worth telling. I was surprised at how much the place has evolved. Who would of thought Yodabashi Camera was built on a reclaimed reservoir. 😐
Love these!!
Akihabara was amazing.
Great job! I love this kind of research. I'd also love to see a deep dive into the Kanda River's history. For example, did you know that there is absolutely nothing remotely natural about the Kanda River as it runs through Akihabara?
Yes, you're 100% right. If I'm not mistaken it was dug out 400 years ago and made part of a ringed moat defense for Edo Castle.
I absolutely love your videos. But it's sad to see all the stuff that once was..., replaced by shopping malls.
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing I subscribe to you thanks again 😎
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Amazing how I never saw heard about this! Subed. Now to watch the rest of the stuff you made.
I'm glad you liked it. One of my favorite photos is of the empty field upon which Akihabara Station is built on today.
@@JapaneseHistory Damn fantastic work I have to say. Watched all your videos. Love the time line in the shape of a train "train stations track" thing. And the comparisons at the end are probably the best part. Tokyo moves so fast it's crazy, I see progress in 2 year segments seeing decades if not a century is just... it makes me laugh. I go about every 2 years and I'm like damn, this 10 story skyscraper wasn't there last time. So much so that I actually started watching like people walking around areas I've seen/been to keep up.
It is a fast moving city with a high rate of renewal when it comes to construction. I look at Shibuya and Tokyo Stations and how they have changed in the last decade. Amazing how they restored Tokyo Station in 2012 after it burnt down. And Shibuya Damn. That place has been totally rebuilt and rearranged moving platforms around all while operational. Anyway, I'm working on the Yamanote Line episode now, it will be out in about a month or so.
@@JapaneseHistory Fantastic, can't wait to see it. And yeah it feel like every other station theres some construction work going on.
I was curious.... How about the history of the Shutokou (Metropolitan Expressway)
Yes it's an interesting subject. I've got some episodes coming up this year that will include aspects of some parts of the expressway. But it does deserve an episode of it's own.
@@JapaneseHistory oh yes... When the time comes... I'll watch it 🚗🛣️
Thank you so much for your excellent videos!
Thank you for watching and your support. 👍more to come soon.
What editing software do you use?
@tjjs animations I use Permiere Pro. Also photoshop and after effect for some images and animations.
Where are you finding all of these historical photos?
Most of them are found on the internet. They are scattered across many different sites and the search can be long and hard and quite often I find them by accident. Some of them aren't even labeled appropriately I just come to recognize the area at that time in history.
I don know hibiya line story
I'll make a Hibiya Line one in the future. Now I'm working on the Marunouchi Line.
Are you working on the JR Chuo Line before the Keihin-Tohoku Line.
6:56 これは日本じゃないだろ。多分ベトナム
Probably this is not Japan though. probably Vietnam.
Why do you think? Is the the hats?
@@JapaneseHistory Yes , also the cloths of standing girl with black hair. And the woman sitting the right side of her.
Japanese woman did not wear short cut collar shirts. Many of Japanese woman wear casual kimono called MACHGI until around 60's.
They are no collar, or flat collar like standard kimonos. And wore working trouseres called MONPE on their lower body. It was very common.
Designs of packages and writing logos are very modern. It seems early 70's.
Probably the products in this picture are imported from Jpn
There is also the possibility that they are embezzled stuff of Japan's relief supplies.
During that days , I mean around vietnam war , many of Vietnamese uses Chinese characters (KANJI in Jpn) in there own language.
Vietnamese completely abandoned KANJIs from their language officially in 1975.
I'm very sorry for my poor English.
