What part of tokyo are these places?

Question:


I have narrowed some otaku spots for my tokyo holiday next year, but when looking at hotel, I need to know which part of tokyo I want the hotel to be in, so which one would be the most central one with these places in mind? Thanks :)

1) Harajuk
2) Akihabara
3) Nakano Broadway
4) Ikebukuro(Otome Road)
5) Nipponbashi (Den Den Town)

Answer:


1. Harajuku - really not "Otaku" but alternative fashion "gothica lolita' fashion subculture of Shibuya fashion.

2. Akihabara, "otaku" capital.

3. Nakano broadway, much smaller location, but less "commercialized" then Akihabara.

4. Not on the radar as a major Otaku location.

5. Not even in Tokyo. (Den Den Town is in OSAKA).

Essentially, Tokyo has an excellent transportation network that you can stay in one major location like SHINJUKU (many hotels there) and go by train to all the places you mentioned within minutes (except Den Den Town, which isn't in Tokyo).

Also it depends on what kind of "otaku" you are, there are many different types and different things to see and do.
