What you can expect

Join us on a guided walk through Akihabara, Tokyo’s electric heart of anime, gaming and otaku culture!

Together with your friendly local guide you’ll explore the streets, arcades and stores that make this the icon of modern Japanese pop culture!

You won’t just see the signs and shops, you’ll feel the culture through stories, hands on arcade Mario kart, and insider tips from your guide that most visitors miss when they visit!

Our guides are known for their energy, deep knowledge of anime and gaming history, and ability to make every stop fun and memorable!

They honestly love answering questions and sharing where to find the best collectibles, retro games and limited edition merchandise, so please ask them anything!

Whether you’re a hardcore anime fan or simply curious about modern Japanese pop culture, this tour is perfect for you :)

Our standard package is a 2 hour guided walk covering Main Streets where your guide will point out where you can visit on your own free time after the tour, but the stores we enter on this tour are more “tucked away” and local, so that you can really get to immerse yourself! At the end we visit an Arcade where you will get to compete in a game of Mario Kart with real chairs and a wheel! (Like the front picture of this booking page)

If you choose the optional 3 hour package, we end the tour with a visit to a maid cafe!
Some people might find it a bit intimidating, but it is a super fun experience you will not regret having tried when you are visiting Japan!

The 3 hour package price includes one drink or dessert inside the maid cafe.

We keep groups small so you can try games, ask questions and get personal recommendations from your guide :)

Whether you’re here for retro games, new releases, character merchandise, or just want a deeper connection to modern Japanese pop culture, this tour is perfect for you! :)

We want everyone to feel comfortable, so please wear whatever you like, tattoos are welcome, and there is no dress code.

We look forward to showing you Akihabara the way locals love it, and the way we fell in love with the place!

All the best from Team Sunrise Adventure
