Hiromi-san was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. She showed a good mix of anime and gaming shops, with plenty of food in-between. We were able to see a lot of things, experience some interesting stuff, like the maiden Cafe, which was something you should experience at least once and even do some shopping. At the end she showed me to a store where I could find lots of manga. I recommend this tour if you like anime, manga and video games.
