A local would say...

Some say Japan's greatest electronics innovations started as 'junk' finds from places exactly like this basement floor.

You'll find treasure hunting at its finest in this electronics graveyard, where dusty shelves overflow with vintage amplifiers, forgotten game consoles, and mysterious gadgets that may or may not work. The legendary junk floor is where dreams are made—dig through bins of untested circuits and orphaned components for just a few hundred yen each. The thrill isn't knowing what works, but discovering what possibilities lie dormant in these electronic relics. This is Akihabara's most honest shop, where hobbyists become archaeologists of the digital age.
