A multipurpose event and exhibition space on the second floor of Akihabara UDX, hosting pop-ups and fan gatherings.
Akiba Square is a flexible venue on the second floor of the Akihabara UDX building, used for everything from product launches and game previews to fan events and temporary exhibitions. The space reflects Akihabara's identity as a cultural hub, giving visitors a chance to catch limited-time displays and collaborations tied to anime, gaming, and tech. Because the programme changes frequently, the atmosphere can shift from quiet showroom to packed convention floor depending on the day.
Look up the current event calendar before heading over; even if nothing is scheduled, the surrounding UDX complex has restaurants, shops, and rotating displays to fill a spare hour.
Arrive early on event days, as popular launches can attract queues that snake through the UDX lobby and out towards the station side.

Every year I attend the 100 Artists Exhibition. The venue is spacious, allowing me to enjoy the artwork without feeling crowded, especially when I visit during quieter times. The staff are attentive, and there are enough of them at the merchandising booths, making shopping a breeze.

Akihabara Station is extremely busy, but I reached the venue easily via the pedestrian overpass. The space is modest in size, yet it serves its purpose.
