Akihabara is one of Tokyo's most visited tourist destinations, especially for its 'subculture' aspect. Fans of figurines, animation and maid cafes will not miss a crumb of a very colorful neighborhood. It is appreciated by tourists from all over the world but it is often thought that this district is reserved for the manga/anime universe when it is not the case. Being close to three major Tokyo stations → Asakusa, Kanda and Ueno many train lines allow to get there:
· JR Yamanote and Chuo-Sobu Line
· Tsukuba Express line

Let us tell you about a commercial complex directly connected to Akihabara station → AKIBA TOLIM

On the floor you will find a going linking East and West exit

◎◉​Why Akihabara?◉◎​
Simply because its access and rather practical if you stay in East-Tokyo and you will find all the popular brands of the moment.

◎◉Why AKIBA TOLIM?◉◎
Most shopping centers in downtown Tokyo are crowded but  AKIBA TOLIM  is not. This is an advantage because you will not have to worry too much stock side and enjoy a relaxing shopping session.

This brand of designer shirts was born in Japan, specifically in the city of Kamakura south of Tokyo. The brand is recognized not only for its design but also for the quality of its products around the world. We find their products in New York.

Shirts of your choice

Store clerks will listen to your expectations to find items based on your daily fashion. Their shirts are famous among not only Japanese but foreign visitors for their high quality and preciseness of each and every stitch. Selling both men's and women's clothing, most of the fabrics used for the shirts are 100% cotton, some even have a 200, 300 count. What impressed us the most was how breathable the fabric is. Many dress shirts are thicker and get hot after awhile, so if you want a breathable fabric you need to pay a pricey penny. The shirts here though start from around 5,000 yen (about $46) so you don't have to worry about killing your wallet!

Wide choice of ties

Made in Japan

Cufflinks

Aside from shirts they also sell handmade ties. A majority of their ties are made in either Japan or Italy. When you look at the price tag you will be able to see which country it was from because of the flag on the tag. Decorative cufflinks are also for sale! We liked the threaded ones, it sort of gave off a Japanese sort of vibe.
