Should Akihabara be walled off from the rest of Tokyo? Twitter user proposes bold rezoning plan soranews24.com

At least, that’s the idea proposed by Japanese Twitter user @tawarayasotatsu.
@tawarayasotatsu calls her idea “Akihabara Gate City,” and it would start by building a wall around Akihabara, isolating the city from the rest of Tokyo.
The neighborhood would then be classified as a special area that visitors have to pay to enter.
Perhaps most significantly, children under 16 years old would not be admitted to Akihabara unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
However, those in favor of a free and open Akihabara will be happy to know that there’s no actual government initiative to establish Akihabara Gate City, and it’s entirely possible that, partially rational or not, @tawarayasotatsu’s Akihabara-behind-walls idea is entirely tongue-in-cheek.
