Joe did a wonderful job of tailoring our tour to my kids' experiences and likes. We learned about Japanese anime, had a wonderful lunch, shopped in the gaming mall, and ended at an extremely fun arcade. This is a great tour, and I highly recommend it and Joe.
Joe was the most amazing tour guide. He was fun, knowledgeable and we became like a family during our tour. His knowledgeable of anime and all of the locations was spot on!!
Diverse set of activities all related to video games, manga and anime. Great for kids and adults. Also learned more about local life.
Ran & taiga were excellent host and we visited anime stores and gaming locations after lunch. It was a great exposure to popular anime stops and a nice break from the day. Excellent host from area locals
This was a great experience! Mayu was attentive, personable,and knowledgeable. She taught us the meaning and how to pronounce some Japanese phrases, help us with food selection at dinner and was very accommodating when my family wanted to go to other stores. This experience was a 10!
Mayu was amazing! She was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My family enjoyed our tour.
What a great time!!! Mayu was awesome!! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained different phrases, helped us with food selection, and was very accommodating with my family when they wanted to go to other stores. Overall I'll give this experience a 10!
This is a shared minivan ride to the Diakoko car meet. The organizer was on time but our driver was a bit late so we ended up having about 45 minutes at the meet. It was the only way to really get to the meet but there isn’t really a tour involved. Consider this a shared Uber experience. The meet was fine — not the best turnout (Wednesday night) but plenty of cars for my teen boys to enjoy. It’s a 45 minute ride to Daikoku so you spend 2/3 of the time driving, FYI.
Mayu was a terrific guide! She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and super knowledgeable—our 12 year old anime fan loved seeing many of the places from his favorite manga and anime on this tour. We went to an izakaya for lunch that we never would have found on our own and enjoyed learning so much more about Japanese customs and culture through a great lunch conversation. Highly recommend!!
Even though there was slight rain, our guide, Kari, was able to get us to all of the stops. We were able to buy plenty of merchandise.
