Akihabara escalator: going up, and over, and up























This is the escalator to the Chuo line at Akihabara station.  It goes up-flat-up. (You won't be surprised to know there's one that goes down-flat-down, too.)

The flat part in the middle is disorienting. It feels like the starting point for the rise up could be anywhere, even if you can see that your feet are firmly in the middle of the step.

(There are better videos in the "related videos" that come after mine ends.)

My girlfriend, always a big fan of the movator in airports, declared this particular escalator the crowning achievement of mankind. :)
