In this article, we will introduce three spots in Suehirocho.

 

Kanda Myojin

 

 

 

Kanda Myojin is a shrine that has been standing for more than 1300 years. It was erected in 730 year and it has been protecting numerous shoguns and common people since. Today, the following wards are under its protection: Nihonbashi, Akihabara, Otemachi, Marunouchi, Tsukiji, Tokyo, etc.

 

Three gods reside inside:

  • The god of relationships – Daikoku-sama
  • The god of business prosperity – Ebisu-sama
  • The god that wards off calamities – Masakado-sama.

 

 

Most shrines are crowded during year-end holidays, but because of its size, Kanda Myojin has people lining up throughout the year.

 

 

Recently, it has become even more popular thanks to an anime called Love Live. You can now buy anime-inspired lucky charms and other anime and game souvenirs.

Wa style.cafe AKIBA

 

 

An internet café is a 24-hour café where you can read manga, play games, watch movies or surf the internet. Many offer private rooms or small boxes that provide just enough privacy for an one-night stay.

In Akihabara, there is an internet café with an interesting theme. It has been decorated to look like a ryokan – a Japanese traditional inn.

 

 

As you can see, it looks very worm and relaxing.

 

 

We recommend you also order a quick snack while you are there.
