It used to be that on Sundays and holidays, Tokyoās electrics and game mecca Akihabara closed off its streets to cars and turned itself into a āPedestriansā Paradiseā. Then, seven individuals were tragically killed in a stabbing spree.

The streets were closed to foot traffic, and the area even installed security cameras.

This past Monday, the local neighborhood association and Akihabara āElectric Townā representatives meet and have decided to revive Pedestriansā Paradise. Details (days, times, etc.) are still being hammered out with the police.
Glad to see the area slowly return to normal.
