秋葉原(日語:秋葉原/あきはばら Akihabara */?)是日本一個以秋葉原車站為中心,以大量電器賣場、商城與資訊產業企業聚集而聞名的電子商圈(電気街)。地理上大致涵蓋東京都千代田區外神田、神田佐久間町、神田花岡町與台東區[1]。秋葉原地區內的商店大都是以銷售家電、電腦與相關周邊衍生產品為主,與大阪市的日本橋、名古屋市的大須一起被併稱為「日本三大電氣街」。由於地名較長,當地人常將其簡稱為秋葉或アキバ(Akiba)。秋葉原(あきはばら)は、東京都千代田区の秋葉原駅周辺、主として東京都千代田区外神田・神田佐久間町および台東区秋葉原周辺を指す地域名である。
Akihabara (秋葉原) is a common name for the area around Akihabara Station in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. Administratively, the area called Akihabara mainly belongs to the Sotokanda district (外神田), and the far-western part of Kanda-Sakumachō. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (秋葉が原, "autumn leaf field"), which ultimately comes from Akiba (秋葉), named after a fire-controlling deity of a firefighting shrine built after the area was destroyed by a fire in 1869.[1]
Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (秋葉原電気街 Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly after World War II for being a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market.[2][3] Nowadays, Akihabara is considered by many to be an otaku cultural center and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and computer goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés are found throughout the district.
