At the Radio Kaikan, which has become a symbol of Akihabara, you will have about an hour and a half for shopping. There are many shops offering a variety of anime and gaming merchandise, so once you enter the building, we will explain what shops are on each floor before you start shopping. For those who may feel anxious about shopping, our interpreters and cosplayers will be there to assist you, ensuring you can enjoy your shopping experience with peace of mind.

Additionally, there is a project where you can take original photos using a dedicated box for your purchased items at the photo studio we will visit at the end of the tour. We will provide this information to you before shopping begins.

There are no game centers abroad that match the scale and richness of those in Japan, making Japanese game centers very popular among foreign visitors who often encounter games they have never seen before. This tour includes a licensed tour guide who can assist with any difficulties, such as not knowing how to play the games. We will provide each customer with 1,000 yen worth of coins in advance, allowing everyone to enjoy Japanese games in their own way.

At the maid café "Maidreamin," you can take a break with a collaboration parfait and drink for the Akihabara International Film Festival.

At the photo studio "Luminova," you can place your purchased items or favorite goods in a dedicated box and take original photos.
