Overview

A longtime local host who has spent six years living in Akihabara will lead you from the district’s famous landmarks to hidden corners that only true insiders know. Because your host is also an active professional photographer, you’ll receive free, high-resolution images shot on a pro-grade camera—perfect for sharing on social media and impossible to replicate with a smartphone.

Join us for a journey that blends Akihabara’s classic sights with deep-cut local secrets—captured in professional-quality photos you’ll treasure long after the tour ends.

What's included

  • At the maid café, the entrance fee and any food or drinks beyond what’s included in the course will be charged separately.

What to expect

  1. 1h · Admission ticket included
    1. VIP-level Maid-Café Experience
    We have secured seats at one of Japan’s largest—and normally hardest-to-book—maid cafés. The tour price covers the entrance fee, a signature omurice with personalized ketchup art, one drink, and a two-shot cheki (Polaroid-style photo) with your favorite maid. Feel free to order anything extra on the spot; just pay the café directly.
  2. 1h · Admission ticket included
    2. Curated Shopping Crawl
    Stroll through hand-picked stores that capture every facet of Akiba culture: iconic anime-goods shops, samurai boutiques stocked with swords and shuriken, and retro game stores packed with nostalgic treasures.
  3. 1h · Admission ticket included
    3. Arcade Time-Warp
    First, test your skills on rare cabinets in a vintage game center. Then jump forward in time to a cutting-edge arcade where you can play the newest releases or snap purikura sticker photos to memorialize your adventure.
