Konan Electric closes

This month saw a particularly noticeable increase in the number of closures and restructurings of electronic parts stores.
With the closure of several Konan Denki and Sengoku Densho Radio Department Store stores, the area is becoming a deserted street, just like Radio Center, and many long-time Akihabara users may feel lonely.
