Hey all, I’m back with Day 3 (PM) itinerary. Having spent the morning exploring Ginza, I was back at my base in Akihabara – a place known for its electronics shops and Otaku culture.

At ¥350 (before tax) for a Japan-made lipstick, Chifure Lipstick S was unarguably a steal. I couldn’t resist the temptation and grabbed two – one for me and
