About This Tour
Experience the real Akihabara — beyond what you see on social media. This 3-hour walking tour takes you deep into Tokyo’s Electric Town, where anime, retro games, capsule toys, and Japanese subculture collide. With a local guide, you’ll explore figure shops filled with iconic characters, browse vintage electronics from Japan’s Showa era, and check out walls of colorful gachapon (capsule toy) machines. You’ll also stop by Super Potato, a legendary retro game shop packed with nostalgia. At Taito Station arcade, try your luck on a UFO catcher — ¥300 worth of game credit is included. The tour ends with a visit to a real maid café, where you’ll be greeted with cheerful service and enjoy one drink with your entry. From start to finish, this experience lets you walk, play, shop, and connect with Japan’s most playful and energetic neighborhood.
