wanna go to Japan

If you are a big fan of any Gundam series, this post must be interesting for you.
I went to Gundam Cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo. Gundam cafe opened on April 24th. This is kinda theme park restaurant for Gundam fans. You can enjoy various videos providing information about the popular Gundam animation series, which was first aired 31 years ago. They have 60 seats but it’s always packed and many people in line not only on weekends but also on weekdays.

Opening hours :
10:30 – 23:00(Mon – Fri)
8:30 – 23:30(Sat)
8:30 – 21:30(Sun, National holidays)

I’m right in front of JR Akihabara(秋葉原) station. I can see Gundam Cafe from here.

Yeah, there it is!!

Gundam Cafe!! It’s super cool. I’ve been looking forward to coming here.

The sign of Gundam Cafe.

I’m in line. I don’t know how long it takes to enter Gundam Cafe.

It says “Caution” on the wall. I like this.
