Akizuki electronic commerce Akihabara

Akizuki Denshi Tsusho occupies a space tucked away from the main thoroughfares, identifiable by the crowded tables of plastic bags filled with tiny circuit boards and resistors. It began in the nineteen sixties as a small shop selling kits for amateur radio enthusiasts. While other hobbyist stores in the neighborhood scaled up into massive retail showrooms, Akizuki stayed focused on selling individual electronic components. People crowd the aisles here to find parts that are often impossible to locate anywhere else in Tokyo.
