Enjoyed visiting the shrine and learning about the traditions. Kids were able to find the anime they were interested in with the help of our guide.
Good experience for the Akhiabara Region in Tokyo
Great experience and Takeru was great!! Very personable and spoke English so well. Fun time exploring anime and arcades together!
It was a lot of fun! Definitely recommend the experience! he was 30 minutes late, but he did make up the time by leaving later, totaling in an 2 and a half hours!
This was a wonderful tour. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My daughter loves anime and she got her fill on this tour. It was Christmas morning times 10 for her. I highly recommend it.

Kohe san showed us all the key sights of Akihabara that mattered to us. We bought figures and toys and puzzles of our favorite anime (and even Star Wars), visited a Mecca of gaming history and got to play some current and retro games and just see the culture in action. Great fun for me and my kids as well.

This is a fun tour that hits several cool spots in Akihabara. Our guide was very nice and professional despite being new to conducting the tour. My only suggestion to other travelers would be to start the tour at 10:30 at the earliest as some of the shops don’t open until 11:00.
