This is Akihabara kouen (park), where people hang out and smoke. You're not allowed to smoke while walking in the streets of Akihabara, so smokers often end up staying here. To come to this park, you should go south from Showa Dori Entrance of JR Akihabara station.
An advert of "Kud-Wafter", which is a kind of Gyaru-ge (game). Gyaru means "young ladies", and in such a game, the male protagonist sees a lot of good-looking girls and falls in love with one of them. Konata in the anime Lucky Star was a huge fan of Gyaru-ge.
A shop callled "Mandarake" was displaying very old or rare figurines. It mainly buys rare stuff like old manga, figurines, anime DVDs, and CDs.
There are many office buildings in Akihabara. It is close to an area called "Kanda", where there are so many companies. You can walk from Kanda to Akihabara.
This shop was selling "Neko-mimi earphones". "Neko-mimi" is basically an ornament that looks like cat's ears, and this one had earphones inside. If you wanna do cosplay and listen to music, this must be the one you should wear. To see what it is, click this link and scroll down.
These canned Oden are pretty well-known in Akihabara. Probably you want to have something cold in spring, but Oden is supposed to be very hot usually. I should try one of these cold Oden someday to see how it is different from the hot one
I saw Minori Chihara (the Seiyuu for Yuki Nagato) singing on the screen of Akihabara UDX. This building houses coffee shops, restaurants, and spaces for various events. To come here, you should come out of Akihabara Electric town Entrance and go east on foot for 2 minutes.
As you saw, this is the 6th posting on Akihabara. I think I'm getting addicted to this area not just because of anime goods, but because of the whole atmosphere. The round-trip train fare was about 2,000 yen (21 us dollars), but for me, it was worth paying. I'd like to introduce more things in Akihabara later on.
