Overview

The spots are just recommendation from me, but if you have specific places/anime/manga in your list, please let me know! I am flexible, so I could take you there. Consider me as your local friend.

Akihabara - known colloquially as Akiba - is the heart of Tokyo's electric district and is something of a Mecca for otaku of all stripes. This is a tailor-made tour, so it is totally up to you - where you would like to go and what you would like to do. eg) Taito station (arcade, claw machine, purikura etc.) and K-Books or Animate (Doujinshi, figures, goods, etc)

Akihabara is also famous for maid cafes, where kawaii ladies who wear maid costumes will serve drink and food, and you will learn how kawii culture and Akiba culture got connected here.

I am a mother of a child, so families with children are more than welcome! This tour is best suited for family, family with children, travelers who seek for unique cultural experiences. Recommended for up to 6 pax.
