In depth anime tour - This was a very extensive and quite intriguing tour of the anime experience. The tour guides were extremely informative and we were taken through areas that were showing action figures to areas of the old electronics of the 60s and 70s and over two Pokémon cards of rare and exceptional value, and over to the history of the anime, in this section of Tokyo. The guides are extremely informative. The tour ends with the maid café, which should be looked up on the Internet on YouTube prior to the tour. All of it was a wonderful Of Tokyo life. I should also point out that they are quite helpful in helping you throughout. The addendum is we are 70 years old, but nevertheless, were quite delighted with the tour

A great anchor - My guide Masa was very friendly and helpful in showing me around Akihabara. He goes over some interesting history and is talkative. He was most helpful during the maid cafe part of the tour as he translated everything that was going on and it was nice to have someone there with me in the cafe.

Super tour with Charles.... - Super tour with Charles. Really enjoyed the different aspects of the tour, the old electronic shops sadly in decline to the new anime shops and scene. The maid cafe is something else that needs to be experienced.

Fantastic experience - I had an amazing experience on the Anime and Video Game Tour! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and catered to fans of all levels — whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore anime enthusiast. Our tour guide, Inok, was absolutely fantastic. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the anime and gaming scene, from classic titles to the latest trends, and he added so much value to each stop on the tour. What really stood out was his flexibility he adapted the pace and focus of the tour based on our interests and energy levels, which made the whole experience feel personalized and relaxed. Whether it was exploring hidden gaming places, anime merchandise hotspots, or iconic locations from beloved series, every moment felt thoughtfully curated. Inok’s passion for the culture was infectious, and his insider tips and stories brought everything to life. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves anime, video games, or just wants a fun, unique way to explore the local scene. Truly unforgettable thank you, Inok!
