A specialty store in Akihabara that sells walkie-talkies and radios

People's communication devices are constantly evolving, with the spread of smartphones and the development of apps that allow free calls.
Despite this, radios and transceivers are still popular, and there are several specialty stores in Akihabara.
There was a time when radio communication, known as ham, was all the rage, but it seems to still be very popular.
Transceivers are also used in survival games, so there is a certain demand for them.

So this time, I would like to introduce a specialty store for transceivers and radio equipment in Akihabara.

Akihabara Parts Market Store

Akihabara is home to many stores specializing in various electrical equipment, including electronic parts.
First, let's take a look at the parts market in front of the station.

Yamamoto Wireless CQ2 Store

This is a specialty store for transceivers and radio equipment located on the first floor of the parts market.
Conveniently located with access from both the north and south exits of the Electric Town entrance.
Half of the store sells walkie-talkies, and the other half sells radio equipment.

As for radios, they are much smaller than the old ones.
They have a wide selection of both walkie-talkies and radios, so this is the place to go!
I think this store can serve as an indicator of some of the above.

Yamamoto Wireless CQ1 Store

This shop is located at the back of the second floor of the Parts Market.
Just like the CQ2 store on the first floor, there are walkie-talkies and radios available.
In terms of image, the transceiver seems to have a stronger feel to it.

They also carry GPS devices for mountain climbing, making this a store that sells a wide variety of wireless products in general.
As the name CQ1 suggests, this store opened first, followed by the CQ2 store on the first floor.

Fuji Wireless Electric (Maid Street)

Next, we will introduce Fuji Wireless Electric, located in Maid Street.
This store also stocks a wide variety of walkie-talkies and radios.

As I've looked at various radios, I've noticed that today's radios really have a lot of functions.
In addition, technology has advanced so much that radios have become smaller than the old ones and LCD screens are easier to read.

Other radio reference books and other materials are also available for sale, allowing you to immerse yourself even deeper in the world of radio.

Rocket Amateur Radio Main Building

There is an old-fashioned radio equipment specialty store under the Sobu Line overpass.
The neon sign on the exterior gives it a Showa-era feel.
Now, this store does not carry many walkie-talkies.

Instead, they focus on radios, and in addition to the radios themselves, they sell a variety of peripheral devices.


In addition to the items shown in the images, the store also sells antennas for radio equipment and textbooks for national examinations, making it a store that specializes in radio equipment more than other stores.

If you want to get started with transceivers and radios, Akihabara is the place to go!

The world is filled with wireless devices, including drones.
Additionally, old-fashioned wireless systems are still used in surprising places, and wireless is still a necessary technology.
There is also a national qualification, so if you want to operate wireless equipment on your own, be sure to check it out along with the teaching materials.
