Chapter 195
There wasn’t much to say about the Tokyo sightseeing.
Just like the last time I came for tech support and consultations, the city itself didn’t feel all that different from Seoul.
The cars were different, traffic moved on the opposite side, and the crosswalk signals made different sounds.
Aside from that, maybe the fact that a lot of their subways ran above ground?
Still, there are definitely spots that remind you you’re in a different country.
One of those spots is Akihabara.
People say it’s not what it used to be since COVID, but it’s still very much a mecca for otakus.
Tons of subculture-related shops.
Maids and butlers trying to lure customers on the street.
People walking around in cosplay, and landmine-tier fashion popping up all over the place.
In Korea, you only really see clusters of cosplayers during events like Mafe. Here, though, you could just feel it—this was definitely the home turf of the hardcore fans.
If there was one thing that bugged me, it was probably the stares.
