We had a fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Eduardo on the Anime & Manga Tour! Despite the rainy weather, he kept the energy up and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. He guided us through some of the best spots for anime and manga merchandise, figurines, and collectibles, helping us find stores we never would have discovered on our own. The Japanese lunch was delicious and provided a nice break during the tour. Eduardo was knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions while sharing interesting information about the areas we visited. We ended the day at a maid café, which was a cute and fun experience, especially after spending a long rainy day exploring the city. It was the perfect way to wrap up our adventure. If you’re an anime or manga fan visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend this tour, and Eduardo as your guide!
Perfect was to cover all of the bases if you’re traveling with fans of Pokemon, anime, and/or manga. Rachel was a great guide. She is knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this experience.
Had a great time, the guide knew alot and helped us find what we were looking for and even went out of thrir way to change where we were going as i really wanted to shop at certain places
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a lovely review with us! We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Anime and Manga tour, and both our guide and our team are very happy to know that. We were especially relieved and pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the guide’s knowledge and ability to support you throughout the tour. Being able to help make your shopping wishes come true was one of the greatest joys for us. We sincerely hope your trip to Japan becomes a truly unforgettable memory.
I joined the Otaku Tour and had a great time! Before the tour, I could choose either Akihabara or Nakano as the main destination. I chose Akihabara because I wanted to enjoy not only anime-related spots, but also the unique atmosphere of the area itself. If you let them know your favorite anime or games in advance, they can tailor the tour to your interests. I first met our guide, Edward, in Shibuya. We visited several shops on the 6th floor of PARCO, including the Pokémon Center and the Nintendo Store, and then headed to Akihabara after lunch. Edward was very knowledgeable not only about anime and games, but also about cameras and PCs, so he showed us a wide range of stores and made the whole day very enjoyable. He has been living in Japan for 20 years, and his Japanese was excellent, which made everything very easy and reassuring!
Thank you very much for joining our Otaku Tour and for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an enjoyable experience with Edward and appreciated his extensive knowledge about anime, games, cameras, and PCs. It’s fantastic to know you enjoyed both the exciting anime-related spots and Akihabara’s unique atmosphere. Edward will be very pleased to hear your kind words about his expertise and language skills. Thank you once again for your positive feedback—we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon! Warm Regards, GoJapan Journey
