incidentally i visited akihabara just in 2001, however i am curious how it looks today.
in beijing the electronics market which used to have a similar size and feel, shrunk a lot in the past 5-8 years (before covid) due to online ordering becoming more popular. many shops closed their walk-in stores and went online only. already in 2019 what remained was a fraction of what used to be there a few years earlier.
