Overview

Let's tour around the towns related to anime while talking about anime with our otaku guide.

There are three anime towns in Tokyo. They are Akihabara, Ikebukuro, and Nakano. In this tour, you will be guided by a guide who regularly visits all of them. The guide is also an expert in anime, games, and manga, and will know exactly what you want to buy and what you are looking for, and will take you to the stores that carry them. They will also explain the history of Akihabara, Ikebukuro, and Nakano, so you will become familiar with the city's history. The tour guide, photographer, and driver are all one person.

Recommended for People who want to buy a lot of anime goods, people who want to look around specific anime goods, and people who don't have much time but want to look around anime towns all over Tokyo. You can also stop at convenience stores during the trip in a private car. We try to make the tour as comfortable as possible according to your pace.

Activity itinerary

Akihabara (Pass by)
The cutting-edge of anime is Akihabara. Here you can experience the latest anime, game centers, maid cafes, and more. There are many places where you can take pictures, so take lots of pictures! There are also some interesting shrines, so we will introduce those as well.
Yanagimori Shrine
  • 30m
The shrine was also the setting for an anime called Steins; Gate. This shrine worships a very rare tanuki. Although tanuki is an animal, in Japanese it is the same Japanese word for "overtaking others. Therefore, people who want to succeed in something secretly come to this shrine. Although it is not a large shrine located in the middle of a group of buildings, you will feel the sacred atmosphere when you enter this space.
Kotobukiya Akihabara
  • 30m
Take a look at the latest anime merchandise in Akihabara here! You can find all kinds of goods from plastic models to figures and keychains.
Super Potato Akihabara
  • 30m
Retro games are already out of production and finding them is very difficult. But this Super Potato is a store that deals only with retro games, and you will feel like a kid again when you see a lot of NES, SNES, and PS1 game softwares. The store is divided into 3 floors: 3F is mainly for Nintendo, 4F is mainly for PS, and 5F is the arcade section for retro games. Also on the 5th floor, you can buy DAGASHI (cheap snacks that Japanese kids eat), which is unique to Japan.
Akihabara Gigo
  • 30m
Japanese arcade culture is unique to Japan, with UFO catchers (craw clanes), fighting games, music games, quiz games, purikura (photo booths where you can process photos taken on the spot into stickers), racing games, and shooting games. It is exciting and captivating, so much so that you will lose track of time. On the 6th floor of GIGO, you will find a retro arcade, which is probably the only place in Japan where you can play so many old machines. You can feel the history of Japanese arcades in this place, and you will be fascinated by the world of dot-pictures.
Ikebukuro
  • 30m
We drive from Akihabara to Ikebukuro
Ikebukuro (Pass by)
Ikebukuro has many anime stores specialising in women's products. There is also a Pokemon Centre and the Tokyo Anime Museum. I think you can enjoy a variety of things.
Animate Ikebukuro Flagship Store
  • 30m
The most famous anime store in Japan is Animate. Its main store is located in Ikebukuro. You can buy all kinds of anime goods here. Find what you want here.
Otome Road
  • 30m
Otome Road is lined with stores for Japanese female otaku. If you want to buy anime goods featuring male characters, this is the place to go. If you are a female customer, you will love this place.
Pokemon Mega Center Tokyo
  • 30m
One of the most famous games in Japan is probably Pokemon. This is the place to find only Pokemon merchandise. You may also buy some souvenirs.
Nakano (Pass by)
In Nakano, there is a building called Nakano Broadway that contains many anime goods. There are many retro anime goods, so if you are looking for old anime goods, this is the place to go! There are many small stores gathered here, so you can stroll through the anime goods as if you are on an adventure.
Nakano
  • 30m
We drive from Ikebukuro to Nakano.
Nakano Broadway
  • 30m
Nakano Broway is the place to go for retro Japanese anime goods. Many old toys that are far removed from this era are lying around. If Akihabara is for the newest and Ikebukuro is for women, this is the town of retro anime. If you like old anime, you will find this place to be a paradise. But be careful not to buy too much, as the prices are not cheap.
