Radio Center

Radio Center

Radio Center is one of my recommended place. In 1945, many wireless telecommunication engineers came back from the front and/or the colony to Akihabara after the defeat of the Pacific War. Though they were the first-class engineers, they were unfortunately forced to make pans and caldrons against their will due to the shortage of materials. Even under the difficult conditions, they gathered under the elevated track of Akihabara with the slogan of "Begin reconstruction of Japan from electronics" and started selling radio parts.  This is the beginning of Radio Center. People craved for amusement and information at that time. Therefore, it was bliss for them to listen to the radio. As they became richer, they want to have audio devices, home electric appliances, and personal computers and so on. Low ceiling, narrow alleys, colorful lights, and electric parts displayed closely … Radio Center still remains the traces of the time.
