What To Expect

Akihabara

The cutting-edge of anime is Akihabara. Here you can experience the latest anime, game centers, maid cafes, and more. There are many places where you can take pictures, so take lots of pictures! There are also some interesting shrines, so we will introduce those as well.

Admission Not Applicable

Yanagimori Shrine

The shrine was also the setting for an anime called Steins; Gate. This shrine worships a very rare tanuki. Although tanuki is an animal, in Japanese it is the same Japanese word for "overtaking others. Therefore, people who want to succeed in something secretly come to this shrine. Although it is not a large shrine located in the middle of a group of buildings, you will feel the sacred atmosphere when you enter this space.

Nao, what a great personal experience he picked us up at our hotel on time and we had a few places we wanted to see, but we let him Pick based on what my two sons liked to see plus we got to see a few other places that we wouldn’t have got to see if we had to figure out how to go places ourselves. It was a tour set up for my two boys to have a great time with anime and Pokémon, he made sure our day was full of excitement seeing the sites. I really recommend his services. He was very insightful and informative 100% recommend Nao.

This tour guide is wonderful! He is so kind and brought us to so many wonderful anime stores. One of the best things he did was when he brought us to an arcade and won all of us a anime item. Another time he was incredibly awesome was when he gave us these cool anime items from his collections that. I would 100 percent recommend to anyone who loves anime.

The trip was fun and fantastic; we told Nao what we were looking for and he guided us with a pricing strategy to allow us to find everything we were looking for and more, efficiently and with great bargain. My daughter is a super anime fan and Nao made her trip memorable.

Our Personslized Anime Tour with Nao was the best ever. This was my daughter’s 16 year birthday trip as she is a huge Anime Fan. He customized the entire day that was age appropriate to include my 8 year old. It started of with Pick up from our hotel. He made sure my daughter got to all the right Anime stores & walked her through one of the shows location in Shibuya. We got go to go the arcades and he was extremely kind to our little one. We got to play play the Anine Claw manned and many of the retro games. He even extended our time so that we could get supper. Thank you Nao, for the best experience ever!
Highly recommended

This day was not at all what I could have expected but was so much better than I could have imagined. Your guide Nao does a great job to get to know you and your interests, and form the tour around what you want. He knows the best place for video games, anime and manga, arcades, and way way more. He can answer any question you have and is able to make you feel so much more connected to the areas you’re in. I seriously can’t recommend this tour enough.
Best Day in Tokyo Ever!!!

This is hands down the best experience for anybody who loves anime, video games, and nerd culture for a cheap price. Our guide was amazing and showed us so many cool spots that we never would have found by ourselves. I filled an entire backpack with figures, clothes, collectables, and merch for $50 USD. Our guide was amazing and very kind, funny, and a great man. I could not recommend enough for anybody visiting Japan for the nerd culture.
