Welcome to Akiba The first stop of the Akihabara tour is a retro video game store that is considered a treasure trove for game lovers, especially for those who grew up experiencing the rise of the Japanese video game industry.

We had a great time exploring Akihabara! This walking tour was a fun way to experience one of Tokyo’s most unique and exciting neighborhoods. From the anime shops and gaming culture to the bright lights and nonstop energy, there was so much to see and take in. Akihabara is definitely a place you can explore on your own, but having a guided tour makes the experience even better. It gives you a chance to discover interesting spots and learn more about the culture behind everything. Whether you’re a big anime and gaming fan or just curious about this side of Japanese culture, this tour is worth checking out. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo!
Had a great tour of Akihabara with our tour guide AI. She was very informative and took us to really cool spots we would never find on our own. Cool places to buy anime items, electronics, old gaming consoles, etc. We also went to a Maid cafe. That was interesting and fun. AI took lots of pictures of us during the tour so we could have plenty of memories. We played games at a couple of arcades too. It was a fun and interesting tour for my mother, myself and my daughter.
This was a super fun tour for an old anime, comics and retro gaming fan. Ai was a brilliant guide.
Yuki was a very fun guide to explore Akihabara with! Very knowledgeable of the area and catered to my interests for places to show. The maid cafe was especially fun! Will definitely need more than one visit to fully explore!
Ai is a very kind and helpful guide. She was always attentive to what we wanted to see and do, very patient and informative. We really enjoyed the tour with her. She took us to some amazing hidden gems that we would've missed if we were visiting by ourselves.
Great experience. Tadashi was very knowledgeable and personable. It was great exploring different parts of Akihabara.
Naoki was a great guide! He was very welcoming and personable. There was only 3 of us in the group which made it easy for him to answer any questions we had. His breadth of knowledge of the area was extensive and made the experience great. Naoki was took us to many places that matched many of our interests.

Wonderful tour with Ken. Great guide! Very in depth discussion.
Ken was a patient and well informed guide. He took the time to make sure that our experience was full of quality and historical context
We did not know what to expect as the information from the travel agency was sparse but we ended up having a fantastic time with Tadashi in Akihabara. It was exciting for everyone and he spent many hours with us, completely focused on our interests and wishes.
Very friendly guide who really knew a lot about the history of Akibahara, as well as everything about anime, manga and games. He first asked what our interests were and based on that adapted the tour to us. Certainly recommendable!
Tadashi our tour guide was excellent, and the tour made for a unique three hour experience in Tokyo that gave variety to our trip.
Ken was a fantastic guide on our today, very knowledgable.
A nice tour of Akihabara. The guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She showed me a variety of spots and helped me with purchasing things and in explaining the different types of stores. I have no complaints.
The tour was a wonderful experience which showed multiple aspects of Akihabara. We started with viewing anime and game merchandise shops. After, we toured more historical areas featuring old technology equipment. The maid cafe was a great way to relax after wandering around for so long.
Nice, but a weird experience, guide friendly but poor command of english (pronuncation) and was honestly not really fit for this tour.
Yuki was awesome! Had a blast with him today! Would highly recommend this tour if you want to get the full experience of Akihabara

Ai was our knowledgeable guide today. She took the time to find out our specific interests and likes and tailored our visit to such. Very enjoyable experience with great conversation.
We really enjoyed our tour with Tadashi. He showed us the best of Akihabara and was patient and happy to help our son buy models. We also really loved the Maidreaming Cafe - where we got some treats and drink. Got to see a show there and took a picture with the maids. Best time highly recommend.
Ai was an excellent host, she went out of her way to ensure we saw what was important to us as a group. Thanks you Ai
Ai was a brilliant and knowledgeable tour guide. Brilliant time
This was indeed a magical trip! Our tour guide Ai was professional, high energy and knowledgeable of the area. We had a fantastic diverse group of anime and video games enthusiasts and my favorite part had to be the arcade tour. I only wish the tour had been an another hour and we could really sink our teeth into the area. Would definitely recommend this experience to someone who has never tried it.
It was a lot of fun. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. I had a great time!
This was a great experience with AI she helped out a lot and was very funny give her a raise please! Thanks again AI 🙂🙂
This sure was a tour for otaku! An almost overwhelming sea of anime, figurines, capsule toys and retro games. Our lovely guide Shoon took us around the techno-maze of Akiba including the unique experience of the maid cafe!
We had a Lot of fun❤️ totally recommend it
We had a great time in Akihabara with Ai.
Very nice and enriched visit with Ken. Did it for my 20 years birthday son and he loved it. Especially the Maid Cafe part..😉
Now was great guide. Enjoyed the tour
Toshy was an amazing guide. Overall good experience. Must visit for anime lover.
Ai was a very energetic, funny, and knowledgeable guide. She told us about the history of Akihabara which was very interesting and was very flexible in changing route of the tour to cater to our interest!
Great tour in for what for a new visitor can be a totally overwhelming part of Tokyo. Our guide made it massively enjoyable and interesting. He was very easy to understand and was full of interesting information about the area and the anime and gaming industries. Loved it!!
Andy is a very kind and friendly guide who tries to accommodate all her clients' wishes. She showed bot only well-known spots, but also hidden places that I myself would never have found.
A good way to see several fun places but probably could be done on one's own by getting a list off the internet or by using AI.
