Maid Station Cafe was the first maid cafe I ever went to, when I first came to Japan in 2007. It was a short visit, so I could only go to Akiba once, and after gathering all my courage, and also messing around with some friends, we decided to go to a maid cafe.

It was our first time in Akiba, so we had no idea how to look for maid cafes, much less what to expect. Was it going to be too ecchi for what we could handle? (Unlikely ^^) What we were sure is that it was going to be a new experience.

After the sun set, we started moving to the secondary streets and alleys in Akiba, if maid cafes actually existed, they would most likely not be right by the huge stores in Chuo street. However, after looking for a while, nothing seemed like it would be what we were looking for. It was getting a little late, so some talks about going back started to emerge. (more…)
