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.

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.

The new Radio Kaikan building.




Image from Episode 7 - 19m22s


A day shot of Hourin park.




Image from Episode 14 - 17m06s


The beef bowl place. This time it was open.




Image from Episode 3 - 13m08s


Inside the place. This is the table that's in the same position as the one in the anime.




Image from Episode 18 - 10m27s


Clock and note on the wall.




Image from Episode 6 - 02m43s


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



Check the location maps from my last visit.

Akihabara Station

The area around Akihabara station has been featured in several anime series. Here's a few shots I took and some comparisons.



Image from Steins;Gate Episode 22 - 17m44s


If you go through the Electric Town exit gates and the head right you'll end up on this side of the train station.

This is where the Gundam and AKB48 cafés are.

And also the Akihabara Crossfield UDX building with the big Akihabara UDX vision screen.

Image from Lucky Star Episode 16 - 08m27s


If you head left instead of right after the Electric Town exit gates you'll find yourself here.

Image from Steins;Gate Episode 1 - 09m37s


Image from Oreimo S1E2 - 08m03s


Here you'll find a bunch of anime, game and PC shops right away. There's even a Sega arcade just to the right of the shot.

Steins;Gate - Akihabara

Here's 6 more Steins;Gate locations I visited in Akihabara. 3 of them matches the anime, 2 have been changed and 1 wasn't really matching in the first place.



Image from Episode 1 - 10m31s


This is the former location of Radio Kaikan. The building was torn down in mid 2011 and they built a new building here which is scheduled to be opened later in 2014.




Image from Episode 1 - 20m18s


The Future Gadget Lab and CRT Workshop location. This is the location that never matched. The building in the anime seems to be a composite of several buildings in the area. There actually used to be a TV parts store here, but there's another store here now.




Image from Episode 7 - 19m22s


This is Hourin park. Most of this very small park has been changed since the anime was made, but the trees and the benches are still there.




Image from Episode 9 - 15m14s


Here's finally a location that still matches. This is the building where Faris lives. It's called Tokyo Times Tower in real-life.




Image from Episode 14 - 17m06s


The beef bowl eating place. I think this is still a beef bowl eating place in real-life, but it was not open yet when I went here an early morning.




Image from Episode 20 - 02m35s


And finally the coin lockers where the IBN 5100 was hidden.
