Good news for tourists, but won't some of the smaller niche shops get irritated by a larger number of foreign visitors?

This IS Akiba we're talking about. If they don't want foreign customers, they simply shouldn't list their shop on the map. As it is, Akiba is about 15% Gaijin anyway.

So true. Me being one of them. 
Dang, I didn't know they were opening up a new Gamers. Are they closing the old one and just relocating it? |

About time. There is a DenDen tourist guide which comes out in English, Korean and Chinese (I think) and list every shop that anyone could be interested in- hobby shops, comics shops, even the maid cafes. It's far superior to anything that Akihabara came out with previous to this article.

I doubt it. Like others have said, there are already a large number of foreigners in Akihabara as it is. I think they're pretty used to it, even the smaller shops. |

Well, it is obviously helpful to tourists since more and more people seemingly want to go Akihabara. Whenever someone mentions that name I get people around saying anime, which is actually only part of what makes Akihabara what it is.
