Opposite side of the street. I actually stayed at a hotel near this location last time I were here. When I later watched the anime I recognized the location immediately!

Steins;Gate - Shrine Building

Last time I visited Tokyo, I checked out the Steins;Gate Shrine Location. This time I decided to check out the shrine building itself. The shrine is Akiba Shrine, and is actually not located in Akihabara, but in Asakusa. One of the closest subway stations to this location is Inarichō Station.

And the purification font. The one at Yanagimori shrine actually looks more like the one in the anime.

Tokyo Anime Center is an exhibition space on the fourth floor of the UDX Building in Akihabara. While I were there they had a Grisaia anime exhibit, so I took some pictures.



Posters outside the locale.




Cardboard cutouts of the characters.

Some sketches as well.

Love Live - Shrine

In Love Live you can see Kanda Shrine where Nozomi works as a shrine maiden. I decided to visit it while in Akihabara.

I also saw this Love Live truck while there.




It sold Love Live drinks and some goods.



No map since this is a famous tourist attraction.

Steins;Gate - Akihabara Revisit

The last time I visited Japan I went to some Steins;Gate location in Akihabara. The new Radio Kaikan building wasn't finished yet, I only got a night shot at Hourin park and the beef bowl place was closed when I went. This time when I were in Akihabara I made sure to get some new pictures of all three.

And finally the beef bowl meal you can get at this place.
