With its discount electrical goods stores, cosplay, and maid coffee shops, Akihabara is quickly gaining a reputation as a place that caters to a wide variety of needs, both nerdy and otherwise.

One of the latest new fads to spring out of Akihabara is mimikaki.

For 2,500 yen you can experience the pleasure of laying your head on the tender thighs of a yukata-clad young woman as she picks the wax out of your ears.

One of the premier establishments offering such services is Yamamoto Mimi Kaki-ten (Japanese page), which has been such a success that it has surprised even the folks who run the place.

For some reason, Japanese men find having the inner ears probed by sexy young things a turn on. And Yamamoto Mimi Kaki-ten plays this fetish to the hilt, even providing a page at its website where you can have a look at photos of the comely young lasses who work there.
