Old and New Akihabara

If you've been to Akihabara lately, you know that the station is under heavy renovation (yet again). But I found something interesting there. The photos comparing old Akihabara and new Akihabara were shown in front of the station.

I took photos of the photos. Here's the old Akihabara maybe in the 1930s taken in front of "Radio Center" shop. You can see an antique car and also tracks for trams.



Here's how it looks like today.



You can notice that the "Radio Center" shop is still there after all this time. But today, it is a busy crossing spot in front of the station just under the Yamanote line rail bridge. No more trams (and cows).
