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.
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.

This day was not at all...

5.00This 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.
Excellent Anime Tour with Nao

5.00Our guide, Nao, sent us a survey after we confirmed our tour to make sure he understood our interests. He picked us up promptly from our hotel in his van and drove us to Sensoji and Shibuya to see the locations where a couple of the fight scenes from Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen happened. He then took us to numerous stores specialized in anime products from books to shirts and figurines. It's really fun. The selections could be quite overwhelming at times honestly 😉. He then took us to an arcade. Our family enjoyed a couple games there. Our day ended at the Monhan Sakaba, the Monster Hunter Cafe/Bar as we had a reservation there. Nao was very kind and made sure we got there in time for our reservation. Overall it was an awesome experience!
Best anime tour with experienced and patient guide for teens and families

5.00This was a highlight of our trip. Our teen boys love anime and gaming, which is completely out of my wheelhouse. Before our tour, we completed an easy survey about our interests, and Nao went above and beyond to tailor the tour to them. Having a tour guide who also loves the same things made this tour so enjoyable for all of us, and he is an expert, safe driver. Our sons raved about this tour, and we enjoyed the insider's glimpse into Tokyo's anime scene.
