Exploring Akihabara, Tokyo's Electronics Markets – w/Only in Japan!
Akihabara might be known as the center of the anime, video game, and manga universe. But it’s roots are in it’s electronics markets – some of the coolest in the world! Today, we’re exploring the back alleys and cramped corridors with John Daub from the channel Only in Japan.

sorry to be debbie downer but @00:00.1:30 your friend was about to say hentai and/or electronic sex toys..
So.. gambling loot boxes?
Japan is centuries ahead of China in hygiene alone.
strang same layout as in Bangkok Thailand..
Could you install a new mini photo printer, a Pi and LED. Turn it into a new version of the old?
Did you make anythibg
Love the channel man! Just a bit of constructive criticism… while you’re in Japan, China, India, etc., where cameras are probably cheap, you should update to something new? The rolling shutter jelly effect makes some parts almost unwatchable. Actually, I got sick this morning and was starting to feel better. I watched the Mumbai market, then this. About a quarter way into this I started to feel nauseated again. It is a true fact that this and other things done while filming can make some viewers dizzy or not able to watch.
I’m not saying I can do, or am, any better… just trying to help because other than that, the vids are great!
My aesthetics meter went through the roof
That is called MODDING.
Make a digital camera of the polaroid camera.
that capsule machine with yamaha FM synth chips is awesome
For just one day in this place! Ahhhhh
Those “Malls” where you can get those electric parts always look like an abandoned unfinished mall in America. It’s so raw, just some concrete and escalators and electric wires everywhere
Ok HERE IS THE IDEA, SET UP A SHOP THERE WITH A POLAROID PHOTO VENDING.MACHINE
Kind of like the old "Heath kit" back in the 70’s. The original computer or whatever else you wanted it to do.
You clearly missed Sengoku (http://www.sengoku.co.jp), Akibaoo )http://www.akibaoo.co.jp) and many other electronic component shops in the area… Nice vid though, cheers!
Look so old
My dream 💔
Japan technology and electronics has stopped since late 90’s and no more new innovative creations coming out from Japan ever … in year 2020, walk into verizon, tmobile, bestbuy, costco, homedepot and etcs… all you see is Samsung, LG, Apple and rest of cheap chinese brands… semicon microchip is the one most key important part of all electronics and Samsung produce and supply about 50% of semicon microchip in the world alone…
Can you help us with mobile display parts market other then china …would be greatfull
You are Really helpfull with your videos
Thank you so much
My dream is to go there, that was frikkin cool
hej man like your video’s but in my opinion your intro music is way to loud
Love the couple at 7:40 recognizing you guys!
Put a digital camera in it with a thermal printer 🙂
I see okarin whining in the background !!!
Omg there is a gacha station for Kizuna Ai stuff at 4:35, didn’t know she was that big XD
4:38 hey! thats kizuna ai
Good to see ham radio vendors thriving in Tokyo
I’m so glad I stumbled unto this video. It reminds me of the family trip back in 2015. Me and my younger brother’s eyes lit up when my Dad told us that we were gonna visit Akihabara. Sadly, we only had 3 hours so we soaked in as much experience as we could. This video tells me that in order to experience a bit of everything "Akihabara" , a minimum of 3 days should be allotted.
Did you ever make any of the midi music players?!?! I want to see that video.
I need to find the chip SC-01 (votrax ) any info if you have one or know someone that can help me ? Thanks…btw i live in MA
That guy was like one of the guys from Pawn Stars show pretending to be extremely knowledgeable about something when actually it has been all scripted, except that he really knows his stuff. Pretty interesting guy to hangout and chat with.
Put a phone on top of the camera
I trust Japanese Electronics more than Korean. My Toshiba TV lasted more than a decade while my Samsung TV broke within 4 years.
2 of my favorite youtube channels get together :DDD
Who else notices the intro was heavily bass boosted?
Wat een kutlans sushi smaakt nergens naar
German translation texts are shit. google translate gae.
I think I last was in Akihabara in 1996 or 1997.Alot has changed
i actually wanted to buy led strips today 😛
Dude, I don’t watch a lot of your videos, but the few I saw you always interrupt people on your videos, like this dude and that metal laser cutting dude as well. Just chill the fuck out – let them speak.
Best (cheap) Japanese beef restaurant – just off the right of the screen at 8:28.
I like chicken and beef ootecho.
I don’t know why but akihabara was such a disappointment when I checked it out. I feel like japans years as the electronics hub ended years ago. Korea and China has taken over
Japan > China
This market is so beautiful. Why can’t we have these in USA?
Just do a drop test with the camera!
build an inflatable hair dryer
in the background at 6:00
I miss living in Japan so much… =(
