Akihabara, or "electric town", is a crowded maze of shops in central Tokyo selling retro-computer games, computer components, manga and anime comics, and is also a swarm of people and a cacophony of noise. The favourite was a weird shop called Super Potato, found down an unmarked alleyway and packed with rare and vintage games consoles.
We met one of Peter's colleagues Hidetoshi for lunch, an excellent meal advertised simply as "8 different species"!!
And then the boys found a video arcade .....
.... and then - amazingly - a golf driving range on the roof of a Tokyo high-rise!!
Finally, dropping from tiredness, we staggered onto the Shinkansen (bullet train) heading for Kyoto.
