5.00This was a great experience! Akihabara is overwhelming, but Mune showed us the best shops, how to play in arcades, how to visit a shrine, and where to find the old electronic stores. Communication before the tour and about how to meet was fantastic. My 13 year-old absolutely loved it, and so did I.
Amazing

5.00For me who can't speak Japanese, he was very active and kind to help and wanted to look for a figure. He walks through many stores and looks carefully. If you meet me in Akihabara, you might get an unconditional tour.
Blown away and amazed

5.00On a whim, I decided to ask these kind and beautiful people for a tour. And of my week visiting japan, they have successfully shown me the most fascinating places I had visited in japan. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. At the end of the tour they helped me find a bar where I could relax, and it was just the type of place I needed. We had conversations about our homes countries, music, culture, and shared interests. They have given me strong motivation to visit Japan again! And next time, I will be coning for a second tour. I wish I could have stayed with them for longer.
Fun times taking a tour

5.00It was so fun to be with Mune and Ann today, they showed us around some shrines and took lots of time to talk with us and get to know us and even recommend and showed us a place to eat after our tour was finished. Very glad we stopped to get a tour from them 10/10 :D
