Akihabara

Akihabara is a common name for the area around Akihabara Station in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. Akihabara acts as the main location of the events of Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0.

The majority of Akihabara is owned by Rumiho Akiha, who used her influence to turn it into a modern day hotspot for otaku and moe culture. Before his death, that portion of Akihabara was owned by Rumiho's father, Yukitaka Akiha. On world lines where Yukitaka Akiha does not die, Akihabara becomes a hotspot for technology-based stores.
