Accelerated at Koenji !

The story of an animation "accel world" is set near future where virtual reality is very closely linked to the real world.
The story takes place mostly in a shopping district located between Koenji and Shin Koenji stations.

Reporter : Kakizaki Shundo

Summary

Koenji is very popular for students.
It is close to Shijuku and living cost is quite reasonable. Most of the houses are relatively cheap to rent, there are a lot of casual eating places suited for young people, many ornament shops, wardrobe dealers, secondhand bookstores and Live houses and theaters. Drinking places are open from early hours, this is a town of good youth and freedom.
Koenji is the second station from Shinjuku and the next station to Nakano, where "Mandarake Main Office" is based.

		Koenji 10 Underneath the elevated railway tracks at "Koenji Station Entrance" Intersection. There is a lot about underneath the elevated railway tracks, shopping streets and overpass that comes into the story of "Accel world".
