Fun private anime tour! - We had a great time on this tour. The company, Washoku Club, communicated with us a week or so in advance to tailor the tour to our interests. Our guide, Hiromi, was very patient with our group. While the tour was aimed at the anime/manga fan in our family, we all enjoyed astonishing anime and electronic stores and especially our visit to a maid cafe. Hiromi selected a fantastic teppanyaki restaurant that pleased both our beef eaters who love the at-table hibachi, as well as our vegetarians who enjoyed several fresh vegetable selections. We greatly appreciated that Hiromi provided us with pictures that she took along the way.

Akihabara Tour - Hironi-San (The Tour Guide) was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Her knowledge of Akihabara allowed us to navigate the streets and alleys with ease. Her friendly demeanor and command of the English language allowed for a great interactive experience for me and my Son. I would definitely do this tour again and recommend it to any Japanese Manga and Anime enthusiasts

Exploring Akihabara - We had an amazing tour in Akihabara with our guide, Islam. Exploring Electric Town was a highlight, with its vibrant atmosphere and unique shops. Islam was incredibly kind and informative, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. The restaurants were both great experiences with sushi, yakiniku and dessert at a maid cafe. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to discover the best of Akihabara!

Akihabara Tour - We had a lovely time with our guide Naoto Kato. He showed us everything that we wanted to see and even was willing to change the plan a little when we were more interested in a dog cafe then the maid cafe. I would recommend if you wanted an introduction to this area of Tokyo!

Best tour ! All in One ! - This was the best city tour I've ever experienced, blending all the beautiful aspects of Japanese culture! The food was incredible and plentiful—we couldn't even make it to our last stop because we were so full. We visited numerous anime stores that my husband absolutely loved, explored cool gaming places, and even played a few games during the tour, which was a lot of fun. For me, the highlight was the maid cafe. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had, especially since I didn't know what to expect. Our amazing tour guide, Hiromi, made everything extra special. She arranged for the maid girls to write a special message for our wedding anniversary, which almost made me cry, and gifted my husband his first-ever manga of his favorite anime, which nearly brought him to tears! Hiromi was very knowledgeable and approachable, and we absolutely loved being in her company. 10 stars! Highly recommend!
