2k540 AKI-OKA ARTIZAN

Reviewed By Anotheraussieinlondo

Had a great time shopping here on a drizzly grey day in June 2019. My partner is crazy about gaming so was amusing himself shopping in Akiba, but after a day of following him around I needed a break. Luckily for me, I found Aki-Oka. It's a fantastic spot on a rainy day as it's all under cover, there are some benches and free wifi, and you can get coffee and a light bite from the cafe. It's also super easy to get to - just walk alongside the Yamanote line from Akiba station. And lastly, the best bit is the shopping. I bought a beautiful ceramic brooch from a pottery studio, a wooden-faced stainless steel watch from the woodware store, and could happily have spent much, much more. Nothing is cheap because it's all beautifully hand-crafted, but for what it is, it's well-priced. And it's always nice to have pleasant memories to go with a treasured item.

Ameyoko Shopping Street

More than 400 stores line this busy market street that sits under the rail line between JR Ueno and Okachimachi stations. Shops sell seafood, clothing, dried food, sweets, and a range of other items.

This place is really nice and bustling, with many shops selling Japanese snacks which are perfect as gifts for friends and family back home. However the food options there were slightly limited for us travelling with a toddler, because the shops are really tiny and hard to fit 4 adults plus 1 child. Mostly bar tables and small stools etc.
