I Rebuilt JAPAN'S TINIEST SHOP!!


A year ago, Japan lost a piece of it's history. A legendary little electronics shop in Akihabara run by one of Tokyo's most amazing people, Koichi Shimayama. He sat under the tracks in a tiny little parts shop selling electronics, and dreams. And along the way, he changed my life. And so, I decided to do what I could to repay him. So I have spent the last year rebuilding Japan's Tiniest shop and this... is how it went.

Saying Goodbye to Tokyo's TINIEST Shop | Akihabara

 


For 43 years, Koichi has sat in the same little spot & sold tiny electronic gadgets to thousands of Akihabara customers. He is part of Tokyo's history. He is part of Japan's history. And now... it is all coming to an end. And before it does, I wanted to take this one last chance to tell his story.
