Shrine gate of "Akiba Usagi Shrine" appears at Akihabara Chuo-dori! A giant TORII gate appeared at Akihabara Chuo-dori.

This TORII gate is for the new amusement spot "Akiba no Usagi Jinja (Akiba's Bunny Shrine)" that (we think ) will feature shrine maidens(Miko) and shrines that will open April 26th. The place will be the building that had "Real Cardboard Dumplings Marilyn" and "Our Taro (Aso)!" next to "AM/PM" convenience.

A character illustrated board of the shop designed by the famous illustrator, Aoi Nishimata topped the TORII gate. There are Miko with bunny ears drawn on the board with a signature of Nishimata.

The official Website that is pre-open at the moment had logo from "Daito",the company that brought Akiba sweets and Taro Aso sweets and words like "Usa manju" "Usa daifuku" it seems that they will be selling food as well. According to Nishimata's Blog, there seems to be some souvenirs too.

There will also be a "womb cave" in the B1 area that are said to be dark, but unspecified.

Although there are still many unveiled information, having Aoi Nishimata that are known for her her "Moe" food designs such as "Moe-rice" and "Moe-Swiss roll", this Usagi-miko is sure to attract attention.
