Akihabara

Our last stop on the Yamanote Line is Akihabara, an exciting district famous for electronics.  Exiting the train station, we were met with construction sites all around us.  After wandering through long, narrow hallways, we found our way out and asked for directions to the enormous electronics store that we had visited on our previous trip to Tokyo.  A helpful worker pointed us in the right direction and soon we were standing in front of Yodobashi Electronics Store!
Yodobashi is not just a store, it's more like a complex with 9 floors of technology paradise! 
You could spend an entire day at Yodobashi!
 The 9th floor features a golf store, driving range and batting cages.
I wish someone told us that before we spent half the day on the first 8 floors!
What surprised me the most was that it wasn't just a store full of electronics, but it was almost like they threw in Wal-Mart and Target in this one building too!  There was an entire section devoted to cosmetics.  I also saw baby supplies, lunch bags, scrapbooking materials and toys!
On the first and second floor of Yodobashi you'll find every cell phone, computer and tablet in the world.  We've visited the store twice and still want to go back!  There's so much to see there!

Now you see why Yodobashi is a definite stop when visiting Akihabara!
