Akibaoo 2nd Shop — Local services in Tokyo

If Akihabara is the motherboard of Tokyo, this store is its PCI slot full of questionable yet irresistible components. Walk in, and it’s like entering an electronics flea market run by an AI whose sole purpose is to trigger your dopamine receptors with “limited sale” stickers.

You want cables? They’ve got cables – USB-C, Lightning, micro-USB, and fifteen types that probably connect to alien motherships. Fans? They have USB mini fans, neck fans, clip fans, fans with designs that scream “I will break in 3 months but you only paid 500 yen so shut up.” And they all come with hand-written tags promising your life will improve if you just buy one.

My favourite moment was watching a guy in business attire buy a mini rice cooker, a USB fan, and a box of Sanrio figurines in one swoop. He left looking like a man who came in for an SD card and walked out rethinking his entire household logistics strategy.

I stood there for 15 minutes debating if I needed a ¥4000 foldable desk. I don’t even use a desk. But the price tag had a little cartoon cat yelling “おすすめ!!” (recommended!!), and for a second I thought, “Maybe this cat knows my life better than I do.”

Akibaoo 2nd Shop is a glorious chaos warehouse where you emerge either with a USB hub you didn’t know you needed or with enough weird home gadgets to furnish a tiny apartment in Shibuya. Either way, you’ll leave with a smile, a lighter wallet, and a mild suspicion you just got scammed by a cartoon cat.

Highly recommended for your next impulsive...

It has been my favorite shop to buy memory cards, usb flash, and DVD-R/CD-R for over 12 years. Prices on the website are cheaper (around 10%), but the shop staff used to match the price always if you show them the website price on your phone... But that was before. All of a sudden they don't do it anymore and just telling you "website price only!". It's ridiculous, even Biccamera or Yodobashi can match prices with their own website. It's alright, they lost a customer, I'm shopping at the shop at the corner (front of KFC),...

Excellent place to buy Tokyo marui airsoft products, they offer the best price I have found so far. If you buy a cable repacked or anything by their shop I strongly advise you to test it right on the spot as their customer after service is poor (inexistant)

For G&G airsoft products I would advise 41px wich gives life time maintenance warranty or 1000 coupon per 10.000 yen spent on gg products.

Bic camera is overpriced compared...
