Overview

Akihabara is well known as one of the most popular towns for Japanese subcultures in Tokyo. The itinerary written in this page is just a model. This tour is wholly tailor-maid. Please tell me what you want to do and where you want to go, and please ask me the recommendation related to your interest. You can do shopping, playing in the game arcade, and more.
I'm an anime and video game otaku and I know about Akihabara that far as I usually have lessons about this place for the other tour guides, so I can assure that you can have fun if you are also otaku. And I will take huge load of photos of you and will send you them using Airdrop, Google Photo at the end of the tour, or later by email. I deliberately didn't include maid cafe, because it takes time at least an hour, but if you want to go, I can take you to the recommendable one. It's the same for animal cafes like cat cafe. Let me know your requests.
If you can, please send me the list of the titles of anime or manga you like.
