Akihabara pedestrian heaven which had been canceled again since the earthquake disaster was resumed from April 17th.

The target of pedestrian heaven is the section of Akihabara Central Street, the outer Kanda 5 intersection that intersects Kuramaebashi-dori from the Mansei bridge intersection. From April to August, traffic is stopped in the time zone between 13:00 and 18:00, and people can walk in the roadway.

In addition, Akihabara specialty which temporarily closes in JulyRadio HallBecause we were collecting the drafts towards the closing, we also saw this together.

Central Street on the 16th (Saturday). Traffic volume was not that much, but a car is passing.


By contrast, the sidewalk was full of people.


A huge number of people gather at the intersection every time they wait for a signal, sometimes you can see the person who runs over the roadway ignoring the signal.


People will start to cross all at once when the signal becomes blue.


When actually going to the intersection, as so many people move at once, it is incredible force.
