"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!

5.00I had visited a few shops in Akihabara, but after participating in this tour, I was captivated by Yuki's broad and deep knowledge and explanation skills, and he explained the highlights and ways to enjoy all the shops he introduced me to in an easy-to-understand manner. The next time I go to Akihabara, I think I can enjoy it in a new way. Yuki's guide is the highest level of entertainment to suit the person!

5.00We had an amazing day on the Akihabara Anime Tour! Our guide, Yuki Sensei, knew everything about anime and showed us hidden gems we would never have found on our own—like retro stores, cool figure shops with great deals, and even a fun arcade where we played a rhythm game together! We also had great anime chats and stopped at a cozy café for some delicious coffee. The whole experience felt like hanging out with a local anime-loving friend. If you’re into anime and want to explore Akihabara in a fun and relaxed way, I totally recommend this tour. So worth it!
Yuki is a true otaku!!

5.00Yuki is a true otaku!! He knows everything about Akihabara, so if you tell him what you want, he'll take you anywhere. From anime goods to retro game shops, how to play at game centers, and even recommended maid cafes—he knows it all. He takes us to every corner of the mixed-use buildings, so having him as a local guide completely changes how we enjoy Akihabara. Yuki-san, thank you!
Incredible guided shopping tour through Akihabara

5.00Yuuki took us on an amazing tour through Akihabara and ensured each member of our family found special items we wanted. For the kids, Yuuki helped with anime cards and figurines, manga, and toys that are special and they will treasure forever. We never would have found these on our own and he helped get us directly to the right places in the stores. We would have been totally lost and overwhelmed otherwise! Then he took us to a whiskey and specialty food spot, followed by a shopping street where my mom and I found unique chopsticks and tapestry to take home beautiful artwork. Yuuki made the day an absolute highlight of an already incredible trip to Japan. Thank you, Yuuki!
Interesting details

5.00I wildly enjoyed the tour from Yuka! He's got a good grasp of Anima and has told us a lot of interesting things about Japanese otaku life. For example, when their taste changes, there are special shops where you can sell your merch.
An absolutely fantastic tour!

5.00I joined this tour alone and enjoyed it a lot. Yuuki-san was a very good listener, and also very good at talking and explaining things. He understood well what wanted to see, and he chose the best places for me. I felt he really analyzed my interests and made the tour special. I also liked that Yuuki-san communicated with me sincerely and always faced me with a warm attitude. I felt very comfortable during the whole tour. I’m very happy I joined this tour. I really recommend it!
Great tour with a knowledgeable guide!

5.00I had an excellent day with Yuuki-san, he helped me find my way through stores that I would have been lost searching through without him. This was the perfect tour for someone trying to find that hard to find item or place. I will not hesitate to book a tour again if I ever get back. Thank You Yuuki

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!
