It was reported that the electronics store "TSUKUMO Akihabara Ekimae-ten", opened in January this year, will be closed on August 30. The foregoing was reported through the store's official site and it was highlighted that the reasons are due to "a change in the business structure." However, it should be noted that since the declaration of emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, many businesses and stores in Tokyo and Fukuoka have begun to close since June.
Within these establishments is also the Second Sega-Akihabara Building, located on the southern edge of the area, and which will close its doors on August 30. This building was inaugurated in October 2003 and is an arcade that began to receive players during the rise of otaku culture.閉店のお知らせ— ツクモ秋葉原駅前店 (@99_AKIBAEKIMAE) August 20, 2020
