"It's my first time visiting Akihabara, but I have no idea how to have real experiences I saw in anime..."
"I really wanna have an Akiba experience but I'm running out of time..."
"There's something I wanna get, but have no idea how/where to buy..."
For those who have such demands, I offer the tour that you can finish within 5 hours!
After meeting at JR Akihabara station and a short introduction, we'll go around places.
As a native Japanese Otaku, I'm sure that I can give you the right information related to Akihabara.
Also, we'll go to a maid cafe that I recommend the most out of 10 kinds of maid cafes I experienced in Akihabara, which is not well-known but is a must-see in my opinion!
I recommend you prepare some wishlists of what you're looking for/where you want to go, so I can arrange the tour as you'd like!

5.00Amazing experience for my first time in Japan! Yuki was an incredible guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about anime and retro culture. He showed us awesome hidden spots, classic anime locations, and vintage shops I never would’ve found on my own. If you love anime or just want a unique Japan experience, this tour is a must. Thanks, Yuki!
Time of our LIVES!

5.00Do yourself a favor... And IMMEDIATELY book this tour with Yuki! This was our first time in Tokyo, and my husband is a huge anime fan so we knew that we wanted an expert to show us around Akihabara. Our main goal was that we wanted find the best spots for anime figurine shopping, and play arcade games... And Yuki showed us the best spots around! We bought so much, he even helped us find a good place to buy a suitcase and helped us pack up all of our gear. He was SO much fun, and we agreed that we'll show him around Seattle when he comes out our way. Thank you for such a fun tour -- ありがとうございました!
Well worth it

5.00Yuuki is an incredibly friendly and engaging tour guide! He has a vast knowledge of Otaku and anime culture, and is a great conversationalist. He really cares to know what interests you have, and knows exactly spots to bring folks for certain fandoms, or just seeing interesting sights!

5.00We had a fantastic time today with Yuuki our tour guide. He knew so much about the local area with all of the anime and manga spots. He also completely tailored our tour to fit our tastes and preferences. Would recommend 100% if you like anime, manga, or simply want to learn more about that culture in Tokyo.
Super fun tour of Akihabara in Japan!

5.00What an amazing day in Akihabara! I joined Yuuki Anime Sensei’s tour as a belated birthday gift for my nephew, and it turned out to be so much more fun than I had imagined. It was my very first time visiting a maid café—having a cute maid draw a moe character on my omurice was such a unique experience. We even met real otaku, tried out rhythm games we had never played before, and explored many different shops in search of anime goods. These are things we could never have experienced on our own. From start to finish, Yuuki Sensei was kind, fun, and incredibly thoughtful. He even helped us pick out souvenirs for my children, who unfortunately couldn’t join this time, and seeing their happy faces when we returned home made the day even more special. Whether you’re from abroad or from Japan, whether you’re an anime fan or just curious about Japanese pop culture, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Don’t miss it—you won’t regret it!

5.00It was fun to play the game together ~~️ He was very courteous and hospitable throughout. He taught us not only about anime and games, but also about the economics of the industry! Yuki-san is so kind.
A memorable experience with Yuki in Akiba!

5.00Actually, I don’t know much about anime, but I really enjoyed the day with Yuki. He introduced me to many different places, such as figure shops, anime merchandise stores, and the Pokémon card center. He didn’t just tell me about the famous anime, he gave me the experience of talking with local anime lovers. Also, I’m only child, but spending time with him felt like having a brother. If you want to talk with real Japanese anime fans, I truly recommend joining his tour!
Magnificent Tour of Akihabara!

5.00Having met a terrific Japanese girl in Kanazawa, he recommended us to Yuki to take the tour of Akihabara. We can say that it has been a very fun and interesting afternoon, it has taken us through very special shops, arcade rooms and retro games and we have gone to a maid cafe! We had a great time and it was a fantastic guide, we recommend it 100%! (If you also want to buy authentic anime geek souvenirs or video games, it will help you a lot!!!)
