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.

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.
Best Day in Tokyo Ever!!!

5.00This 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.
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!
Great Guide

5.00Nao is a wonderful guide! We were able to purchase anime figures at great prices. He knew the right places to go. He also took pictures along the way and provided us with the digital copies.
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.
Perfect customized tour by Nao

5.00Nao was fantastic! He worked so hard to learn out interests and customize a trip for my son. He knew all of the best spots to show us Akihabara. It was key to be driven around and save time. We first met where a previous tour ended, and then ended with Nao where our next evening tour began. He kept us on time, so that we could accomplish everything on our list. It was perfect! No way we could have done anything like this without Nao.
Fun anime themed day

5.00We had a fun day with Nao. The anime fan in our family was excited to bring home some souvenirs and Nao knew just where to go. We also enjoyed the retro games in one of the arcades. We ventured outside of Tokyo as well to a less crowded spot for more anime goods. Stopped for udon along the way, which was a highlight— one of our favorite meals in Japan. Thanks, Nao!
5/5 stars amazing!

5.00This was a perfectly customized tour for my Wife and me. Nao did an amazing job and it was literally the best tour we took all vacation. I cannot recommend this enough. We even recommended it to new friends while on vacation and told them to do it immediately if they had time. Definitely do this tour if you love anime.
