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.

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

Nao took us to all the best stores and gave us loads of advice on how much to pay for items and where to buy them from. We grabbed loads of bargains and discovered shops that would not be possible without a guide.

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.

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.

Our 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

Nao 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

This 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.
