Train Otaku festival

This weekend we had perfect weather in Tokyo, thanks to the typhoon that just passed. It's impressive how it can pour with crazy wind friday night and be 8°C more with a perfect blue sky on saturday morning. So we thought it'd be nice to go for a big walk around Hibiya/Yurakucho/Ginza in the afternoon and here is what we stumbled upon in 日比谷公園:

13th railway festival

It was the biggest concentration of otakus I ever witnessed, largely trumping a sunday afternoon in Akihabara. They were all coming to see the latest Shinkansen locomotive, buy a Yamanote station's chief costume or original parts from Chuo-line wagons...

On the way, I saw the perfect look-alike of Densha-Otoko's friend. I imagine most of these guys come back home and transform into this:
