Private anime tour - I booked this tour because my granddaughter is an anime artist and asked me to bring her something from Japan related to anime and manga. Well, thats all i got from her and so was clueless about everything. Thank goodness I had this guide. For one thing he spoke perfect english so there was no communication problem but he also took me through several stores educating me and making suggestions. Not only did I get some things that I think she will love, i got a much better understanding of anime. I loved it. Wonderful guide

The real Akihabara - Our tour through Akihabara with this fantastic guide was absolutely unforgettable! Not only did he show us the typical sights, but he also led us to hidden shops and unique spots that we would never have discovered on our own. We were especially impressed by his deep knowledge of the district’s history and culture, as well as his passion for anime, manga, and technology. Thanks to him, we gained a whole new perspective on Akihabara and were able to enjoy authentic, local experiences. Every moment of the tour was exciting and perfectly organized. An absolute must for anyone wanting to truly get to know Akihabara!

Excellent and curated tour of Akihabara - Takeshi was a fantastic tour guide - friendly and knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. The hotel pick up and drop off in a private car was a nice added touch. He researched things as we were touring around to find just the right spots. We had a terrific tour!

Great for Rare Retro Souvenir and Snacks Shopping - It was a real cool experience immersing myself in Tokyo's retro era. I believe anyone interested in Japan's good old days would find it worth a visit. Our guide, Takeshi, was extremely knowledgeable about Japan and took the time to explain various aspects thoroughly. The last stop at the "Dagashiya" was the best. We found all our retro Japanese souvenirs and snacks there LOL
