5.00This Akihabara tour was awesome! Mune was a great tour guide, and he made the tour super customizable. He also gave advice about stores I can visit and a good ramen spot in Akihabara. He even showed me how to order ramen and what Japanese to use. Great experience!
Nice tour around Akihabara

5.00Mune was absolutely amazing. I cannot give a higher praise. He was so welcoming, kind, attentive, and extremely helpful. Mune was very clear with his instructions for the meeting spot and was easy to communicate with. The informality of the tour was astounding. He asked us what we liked and took us to the best places. At the end he even helped us find a ramen spot that was delicious. Absolutely would recommend - Mune is the best!
Tour of Akihabara, An Anime Lover’s Tour

5.00I booked this tour as a birthday gift to my husband who loves anime. Mune communicated great leading up to the tour, met us promptly and guided us through Akihabara. He explained the history and background for each stop. We went to an arcade and he told us about the Japanese games as well as showing us how to play the one we were interested in. We were also able to sooth some nostalgia by playing retro games from our childhood. Mune took photos and videos of us playing which was great because now we have those memories of playing together. He even covered a couple of games for us. ☺️ Mune provided a lot of anime history as well as history on the area of Akihabara. We went to a collectible/figurine store and purchased a few items. Mune was extremely patient and did not rush us. He took us to a huge anime store and walked around with us as my husband browsed and they discussed different anime and characters. He offered suggestions for where we should go and even helped me look for tshirts. My husband was so happy with the tour. I am glad I booked the tour with Mune and I highly recommend this tour. 10 out of 10, no notes!! Book it!!!
A wonderful tour of Akihabara.

5.00We had a wonderful couple of hours with Mune touring Akihabara. We definitely went to places we would not have otherwise gone. Mune was polite, friendly, well spoken, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about Akihabara culture. We went as a family, as our 15 year old loves anime. It was really lovely to watch her chat away with someone that loves the subject as much as she does. Well done Mune, we loved it. 🙂
He was great. Would recommend to anyone doing a tour of this part of Tokyo.

5.00My family and I found Mune in Akihabara when we were visiting recently. He was an amazing guide that helped us navigate the whole area without fuss. He speaks perfect English and knows all the right places to see, even those little hidden gems. My kids love Anime and Mune knew all the right places to take us. I would highly recommend his tour it is totally worth it

5.00What a fun tour! I requested custom tour stops which included seeing vintage Godzilla items, vintage game Space Invaders and a stop at the original maid cafe. Mune did his research and, to my joy and surprise, I soon was playing Space Invaders again in a vintage game arcade and having “flashbacks” to my youth! The vintage game arcade is so cool. That part of the tour was my favorite! The maid cafe experience was fun too and it is such a unique thing to do while in Tokyo. Mune also took me to vintage toy shops to see Godzilla items and more. I could spend days in those shops. Akihabara is so much fun! Mune is so nice and is a fantastic tour guide. He truly enjoys bringing fun and happiness to customers!
