The “Erotic Tower” in Akihabara has become a “very popular spot” among foreign tourists!
A rather unusual building located a minute’s walk from the south exit of JR Akihabara Station’s Electric Town is now a popular spot for foreign tourists. The name of that building is “m’s Akihabara Store” (hereinafter referred to as “m’s”). It is one of the largest adult goods specialty stores in Japan and is commonly known as “Ero Tower” among tourists.
Visitors entering the store will be surprised to find that the entire floor, from the first basement to the sixth floor, is devoted to adult goods such as cosplay costumes, lingerie, and adult toys.
Most of the customers entering the building were foreign tourists who were surprised to see the merchandise on display and posters of sexy actresses and adult VTubers posted everywhere.
Although an LCD panel and a signboard showing their faces were placed next to the entrance, many tourists seemed embarrassed to put their faces in the panels and take pictures, as expected, and many of them only took pictures of the panels.
Once inside the store, parody adult goods were placed in front of the store, and a special corner with many TENGA products was set up right next to it.
Movement within the building can be done by stairs and elevators. The elevator is covered with shunga (spring paintings) in all directions, and the stairs are decorated with posters of sexy actresses and other celebrities, as well as product signboards, creating an adult atmosphere.
The store also regularly holds events such as handshakes and photo shoots with famous sexy actresses, and some fans come from overseas to attend these events.
