Anime, Manga, Game & Pop Culture Tour in Akihabara

(13 reviews)

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: Japanese and 1 more

Meet your anime-savvy guide outside JR Akihabara Station for a 3-hour, fully customized dive into Tokyo’s pop-culture capital. A day or two before, we’ll message you on WhatsApp to learn your favorite series and must-have items—figures, English manga, retro games, limited cards, exclusive gacha—so every stop is built around you. Glide through hidden boutiques, retro-game basements and tax-free mega shops while your guide bridges language gaps, shortcuts queues and shares insider tips most visitors miss.

Finish at a reserved Maid Café, an entertainment spot born from Japan’s new pop culture. Costumed maids greet you with playful spells, “kawaii” dishes and photo ops in a whimsical fantasy setting. Your guide explains etiquette, translates menus and settles the bill, leaving you free to relax and enjoy this only-in-Japan finale. The tour ends at the café, where you can stay longer or keep exploring Akihabara on your own—dream collectibles already in hand.
