Akihabara is the holy land of Japanese subculture and is also known as "electric town", popular with tourists as a place to buy high quality electronic goods made in Japan. Here we introduce a few spots to keep you entertained even at night!
1. Enjoying the World of AKB48!
The official café and shop of Japan's representative female idol group "AKB48." In the shop section you can buy different goods of your "Oshimen" (the member of the group you're rooting for the most) like the muffler towel for 1,550 yen. The café area offers food and sweets associated with the idol members while showing videos of live shows and music videos. The shop is open until 10:00 p.m. The café is open until 10:00 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, Sundays, and on holidays, and until 11:00 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and days before holidays.

2. Enjoy a Late Night Café and Bar
This music café and bar has an atmosphere of the 70s and 80s, filled with vintage goods and disco balls where you can relax and enjoy some good old music and movies. Their popular hot dogs are created with additive-free handmade sausages and their highly recommended "Akiba Dogs" come with a delicious homemade original sauce that goes for 500 yen. They've even got a selection of 30 different beers from around the world. Open until 1:00 a.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, 5:00 a.m. on Fridays, and until 2:00 a.m. on Saturdays.

3. A Bakery Café from France
Brioche Dorée is a bakery café that has 300 shops in France. A popular choice is the "Muffinoiserie" made from croissant dough which is baked after being shaped like a muffin and filled with cream, making a delicious hybrid pastry. The outside is flaky and the inside is chewy, offering a new kind of taste. Another recommendation is a Japan special "Croissant Bread" which uses ingredients equivalent to 8 croissants, 900 yen per loaf. It is great for meals or snacks and is only available for half loaf or a loaf via take-out. Open until 10:00 p.m.
