What To Expect
Stop 1
⏱ 30 minThe tour will start from the TAMASHII NATION STORE. This store showcases and sells popular Japanese anime figures that are a hit among foreign visitors. The displayed content is changed approximately every two months. Additionally, there are store-exclusive products that can only be purchased here, making it an irresistible shop for anime lovers visiting from overseas.
Stop 2
⏱ 1h 30mAt the Radio Kaikan, which has become a symbol of Akihabara, you will have about an hour and a half for shopping. There are many shops offering a variety of anime and gaming merchandise, so once you enter the building, we will explain what shops are on each floor before you start shopping. For those who may feel anxious about shopping, our interpreters and cosplayers will be there to assist you, ensuring you can enjoy your shopping experience with peace of mind. Additionally, there is a project where you can take original photos using a dedicated box for your purchased items at the photo studio we will visit at the end of the tour. We will provide this information to you before shopping begins.
Stop 3
⏱ 20 minOn the way from Radio Kaikan to GIGO Building 3, we will guide you through the Akihabara Radio Center (Parts Town) while sharing insights about Akihabara's history. This area is filled with numerous shops and showcases packed with figurines along the narrow corridors, making it a fun spot just to explore and look around.
Stop 4
⏱ 40 minAdmission includedThere are no game centers abroad that match the scale and richness of those in Japan, making Japanese game centers very popular among foreign visitors who often encounter games they have never seen before. This tour includes a licensed tour guide who can assist with any difficulties, such as not knowing how to play the games. We will provide each customer with 1,000 yen worth of coins in advance, allowing everyone to enjoy Japanese games in their own way.
Stop 5
⏱ 1hAdmission includedAt the maid café "Maidreamin," you can take a break with a collaboration parfait and drink for the Akihabara International Film Festival. We will offer an original parfait topped with Akihabara International Film Festival cookies, creating a sense of exclusivity that you can only experience by participating in this tour. You will get to experience the surreal atmosphere of a maid café, which is almost non-existent overseas, along with the attentive service from the maids. We hope you feel the true essence of Akihabara!
Stop 6
⏱ 1hAt the photo studio "Luminova," you can place your purchased items or favorite goods in a dedicated box and take original photos. You can also take two-shot pictures with accompanying cosplayers or capture moments with the maids from "Maidreamin," whom you visited earlier. Photos with the maids can only be taken in designated areas of the café, making this a truly valuable experience.
