Akihaburo

Akihaburo (アキハブロ区) is one of the wards of Toyokin, Takyoto. It is considered as the shopping and entertainment capital of Takyoto, being the location of many famous flagship stores. It once held the capital for gambling and casino entertainment in Takyoto, until a separate ward took over that property in 1976.

The name "Akihaburo" is a knock-off of the district in Tokyo, Akihabara. It was originally named Kinjia (金ジア) until 1976. It uses this knock-off of the Tokyo district's name because of the major similarities between the two. Akihaburo is a major shopping and entertainment center of the city. However, since 2003, other wards in Toyokin and districts in Dainia have started to compete towards that title. Most of the well-known stores and hotels are located along Monogatari Avenue, which is the main thoroughfare and shopping area in the ward.

The ward has an estimated resident population of 427,895 people. The population lives within a 89.2 square kilometer (34.4 sq mi) area, resulting in a population density of around 4,800 people per square kilometer. Despite that, the daytime and nighttime population averages to a total of 1,730,000 daily.
