Really knowledgeable and fun guide if you’re a fan of the Akihabara neighborhood - Yaki is great! Super friendly and very knowledgeable of the Akihabara neighborhood. Our teen daughter loved diving deep on anime and manga characters and Yaki was very accommodating of visiting the sites most aligned with her interests. We look forward to the next opportunity to explore Tokyo with him.

Great family tour - One of the highlights of our Tokyo trip! Our family of five (kids aged 14, 11, 8) went on this trip yesterday. My youngest enjoys anime (Naruto, Demon Slayer, One Piece), my middle child likes to play video games, and my husband used to watch/read anime/manga growing up. Although not all of us are very familiar with this culture, we all had a FABULOUS time! Seina was an exceptional tour guide, connecting with all of us. My oldest commented on how she kept the energy up. My youngest expressed that this was the best trip she'd ever been on, and we've traveled quite a lot internationally. The maid cafe was a highlight for her. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend - Our guide, Kentake, was great. Very informative and patient. He was a little soft spoken so hard to hear at sometimes but was very kind and sweet. Would recommend.
