This shopping mall is located under the JR elevated track on the north side of Akihabara Station and has a collection of stylish shops with a theme of "manufacturing" such as interior goods, miscellaneous goods, and apparel.
2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN is a commercial facility with a manufacturing theme, located under the elevated tracks between JR Akihabara Station and Okachimachi Station. It was developed by JR East as a place to promote "new manufacturing" and "artisan skills" and opened in 2010. The facility's name, "2k540," is a combination of the 2,540m distance from Tokyo Station and the word "artisan," and its unique name has also attracted attention. The space that makes use of the arches under the elevated tracks combines an inorganic atmosphere with the warm works of artisans to create a unique worldview.

The greatest attraction of this facility is that many of the stores are combined with workshops and shops. Artisans in various genres, such as leather goods, accessories, hats, ceramics, and glass crafts, create their own works while selling them on the spot. Visitors can observe the artisans' handiwork up close and sometimes talk to them directly. The best thing about 2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN is that you can find many unique, carefully crafted items that are different from mass-produced items and are made with the passion of the maker.

2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN is not just a shopping mall, but a place where you can experience Japanese craftsmanship culture and find new discoveries and impressions. Some stores hold workshops, so you can actually experience craftsmanship.

It is less than a 10-minute walk from Akihabara Station. It is about a 3-minute walk from Suehirocho Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.
