Akihabara and Beyond

Yuuki is a wonderful, talented, and incredibly knowledgeable guide. We loved learning about Anime characters, and he knew exactly where to take us, sharing interesting stories about each of them. His ability to find the best deals was really helpful. The day was truly special—exploring for food, anime, and souvenirs in one of Tokyo's busiest areas made everything so convenient and fun. I honestly can't imagine navigating all of this on my own without his help to explore each of these massive flagship stores without getting lost.

Operator response

Thank you for the kind words! Anime, food, and souvenirs in one day is a lot of ground to cover, and I had a great time sharing the stories behind each character with you. Those flagship stores really are a maze — glad I could help you navigate them. Come back to Akihabara anytime!

Customized day tour in Tokyo

Yukki-san was a great guide. He helped us with lots of advice on our first trip to Japan. We exchanged many messages before we arrived and he helped guide us to our meeting location. We had 10 hours in Tokyo and Yukki-san worked with our schedule on our timeline. He showed up with small presents for my sons, and he tailored our visit to attractions we were interested in The whole time he took pictures and sent them to us when it was over. We are looking forward to our next trip to Tokyo.

Operator response

Thank you for this! It was a long day together, and all the messages we traded beforehand are what made it fit your family instead of a standard route. Your sons were great company. Whenever you're back in Tokyo, I'd love to pick up where we left off.

Great guide for family with teens!

Yuuki was the perfect guide for our first full day in Tokyo. He kept us going, we covered lots of ground and we saw way more with him than if we had done it on our own. He knows his way around all the favorite anime and hobby shops, so my teens found exactly what they were looking for.

Operator response

Thanks very much for reviewing! I'm glad to that I could help giving you guys some tutorials to how to enjoy Japan!

Put yourself in the hands of a loca subculture EXPERT!!

We had a blast with Yuki!! He's so easy to talk to and very entertaining! We booked our tour on our first full day in Japan which was awesome because Yuki helped us learn how to navigate the Tokyo subway as well as touring us to the best anime spots in Shibuya and Akihabara. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!!
