Akihabara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akihabara (Japanese: 秋葉原), also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Japanese: 秋葉原電気街 Hepburn: Akihabara Denki Gai), is a district of Tokyo, Japan. It is located less than five minutes by rail from Tokyo Station. Its name is frequently shortened to Akiba (アキバ) in Japan. While there is an official locality named Akibahara, which is also 秋葉原 in kanji, nearby (as part of Taitō-ku), the area known to most people as Akihabara (including the railway station of the same name) also include Soto-Kanda, a part of Chiyoda-ku.
Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, games and otaku goods, including new and used items. New items are mostly to be found on the main street, Chūōdōri, with many kinds of used items found in the back streets of Soto Kanda 3-chōme. New parts for PC-building are readily available from a variety of stores. Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and similar items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-chōme (near the station). Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox or other speciality shops near the station, though there is more variety and lower prices at locales a little further away. Akihabara gained some fame through being home to one of the first stores devoted to personal robots and robotics.
The area was just out of Sujikai-gomon city gate (present Mansei bridge) which was one of the city gates (Mitsuke) of old Edo (Tokyo). It was the gateway from inner Edo to northern and northwestern Japan and Kan'ei-ji temple in Ueno. Many dealers, craftsmen and relatively lower class samurai lived there.

Akihabara
Akihabara (秋葉原) is a district in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (秋葉が原, autumn leaf field), which ultimately comes from Akiba (アキバ), named after a fire-controlling deity for a firefighting shrine built after the area was destroyed by a fire in 1869.
Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (秋葉原電気街 Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly after World War II for being a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market. Nowadays, Akihabara is considered by many to be an otaku cultural center and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and computer goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés are found throughout the district.

東京・赤坂の昔の面影を探して Seeking vestiges of old Akasaka town in Tokyo
2014年3月21日に撮影。TBS放送センターの敷地内にある「AKASAKA BLITZ」で夜に催しがあったので、ついでに数十年ぶりにTBS放送センターの周りの赤坂の街を少し散歩してきました。そこには昔の風情あふれた赤坂の面影はなし。ほんのわずかに残る昔ながらの建物の料亭も完全に影が薄くなっていました。そんな中で、TBS放送センター敷地の隣の2階建ての木造の民家が、なぜか印象に残りました。木塀も新しく修繕している箇所もあり、電気もついているのできちんとメンテナンスがされているようです。赤坂界隈の息が詰まるようなビルの中で貴重な木造の民家でした。赤坂と言えば、小粋な芸者衆と昔かたぎの人々が織り成す町と、以前は勝手に思い込んでいましたが、その思い込みも捨てた方がいいのかもしれません。

Tokyo Metro Ginza Line: Asakusa-Tawaramachi-Inaricho-Ueno. JAN 2016
Filmed in January 2016. This is riding a new 1000 series metro train built in 2014, based on the original 1000 series metro trains in the Tokyo metro, which had been in use between 1927-1968 (The new 1000 series metro trains have been introduced since 2012, scheduled to replace all the 01 series metro trains from 1983-1987, 1990-93 and 1997). This is riding the 2,2km long extension with 4 stations, which originally opened back in 1927 (Asakusa-Ueno).
The Ginza Line was conceived by a businessman named Noritsugu Hayakawa, who visited London in 1914, saw the London Underground and concluded that Tokyo needed its own underground railway. He founded the Tokyo Underground Railway (東京地下鉄道 Tōkyō Chika Tetsudō?) in 1920, and began construction in 1925.
The portion between Ueno and Asakusa was completed on December 30, 1927 and publicized as the first underground railway in the Orient. Upon its opening, the line was so popular that passengers often had to wait more than two hours to ride a train for a five-minute trip.
On January 1, 1930, the subway was extended by 1.7 km to temporary Manseibashi Station, abandoned on November 21, 1931 when the subway reached Kanda, 500 meters further south down the line. The Great Depression slowed down construction, but the line finally reached its originally planned terminus of Shinbashi on June 21, 1934.
In 1938, the Tōkyō Rapid Railway (東京高速鉄道 Tōkyō Kōsoku Tetsudō?), a company tied to the predecessor of today's Tokyu Corporation, began service between Shibuya and Toranomon, later extended to Shinbashi in 1939. The two lines began through-service interoperation in 1939 and were formally merged as the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (Eidan Subway or TRTA) in July 1941.
The Ginza Line name was applied in 1953 to distinguish the line from the new Marunouchi Line. In the postwar economic boom, the Ginza Line became increasingly crowded. The new Hanzōmon Line began to relieve the Ginza Line's traffic in the 1980s, but the Ginza Line is still quite crowded as it serves major residential, commercial, and business districts in central Tokyo. According to a June 2009 Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation survey, the Ginza Line is the seventh most crowded subway line in Tokyo, running at 168% capacity between Akasaka-Mitsuke and Tameike-Sannō stations.
The newest station on the line, Tameike-Sannō Station, opened in 1997 to provide a connection to the newly built Namboku Line. The line is 14,3km long and has 19 stations.

The Tokyo Metro system operates 9 lines, while the Toei Subway system operates 4 lines in Tokyo.
