This interesting shopping mall under the Yamanote Line tracks was founded in 2010. 2k540 is a series of 50 shops and cafés with a focus on the well-crafted items. Clothing, accessories, ceramics, bags, and more. While in some stores many items are made by store staff in other shops most items sold are sourced from craftsmen throughout Japan. However, this is a unique collection of shops and a good place to look for gifts.

Myōjinshita Kandagawa (明神下　神田川)
[West of the area in the Akihabara and Kanda Detail 1 map]

A small restaurant specializing in unagi kabayaki, broiled eel. Almost everything on the menu involves eel. The sauce they use is the original from the restaurant's founding in 1805 replenished but never used up and always saved in times of disaster. The building, reconstructed after being burned in WWII, has a very old feel to it, they are proud of having an "Edo Period" vibe. Seating is traditional Japanese, cushions on tatami mats.
