e☆Earphone, an earphone and headphone specialty store, relocated and renovated its main Akihabara store on the 22nd. Moved to a building facing Chuo-dori in Akihabara, a 1-minute walk from the existing store. The building that used to be the former Liberty No. 8 store (Figure/Hobby Hall) has been reborn as an e☆earphone. I covered the pattern on the 21st of the previous day. In order to convey the realism of the sales floor, we will also report on the video.
We visited the newly relocated "e☆Earphone Akihabara Store Main Building"The location after the move is Shinto Building, 4-7-1 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Facing Chuo-dori, it is an easy-to-understand location that you can see on the right if you go straight in the direction of Suehirocho. 7 minute walk from JR Akihabara Station Electric Town Exit, 1 minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Suehirocho Station Exit 1.
