Top ten geek holiday destinations

By Nate Lanxon on 24 September 2007, 2:22pm

Location: Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan
Reason to visit: Awesomely geeky Japanese shopping district 

Akihabara in Tokyo, Japan has to be one of the most amazing and geekiest places on our planet. The huge shopping district sells every kind of electronic product you could ever imagine, alongside unbelievable quantities of manga and anime.

The social culture that blooms in Akihabara binds those who would be considered outcasts in other areas of the country. They can meet here, read manga together, discuss their lifestyles and be a part of something unique.

The bright lights and vivid decorations in this district of Japan are not to be confused with Las Vegas's hotels and neon signs; Akihabara is a completely different experience, offering a lifestyle adored by its inhabitants and visitors.
