Although many foreign tourists visit Akihabara, the reception system and environment are still insufficient. If we do not increase visitor satisfaction and increase the number of repeat visitors, the city will decline. Our association will actively promote the following activities to evolve the city.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u30fbUse the Akihabara brand to attract customers, introduce the latest Akihabara to visitors, experience it, and promote consumption expansion.<\/p>\n

\u30fbPromoting interaction between subculture businesses and the platinum generation and children of Chiyoda Ward with the cooperation of businesses in the city<\/p>\n

\u30fbPromotion of activities introduced by national guide interpreters who guide subcultures and the history and culture of the city in foreign languages.<\/p>\n

Akihabara is always evolving!<\/p>\n

We would like to develop the “AKIBA Subculture Summit'' into an event that attracts otaku from all over the world, and the “Akihabara Nigiwai Hiroba'' into an outdoor event where we can introduce the various services and goods available in Akihabara.<\/p>\n
