Anime/manga overload-in a good way
Seiko was amazing and tailored our tour to what my teenage daughter wanted to see while also giving us a bit of history. She wouldn’t leave us until we had a way home. Thank you, Seiko!

Great afternoon in Akihabara
We had a very good afternoon. The guide was extremely nice, patient with our children and good at listening to what we wanted.

Great way to start with Tokyo Anime and Cosplay
Seiko was a wonderful, engaging, and informative guide! She showed our 16 year old daughter many hard to find shops and attractions in Akihabara and Harajuku. She knew all of the anime characters our daughter was interested in, and even showed her a second hand cosplay shop where out daughter secured a rare costume. After this fun afternoon with Seiko, our daughter was able to navigate these areas of Tokyo for the following day all by herself. We highly recommend beginning with a tour like this to get your teenagers oriented to anime Tokyo.

Fun, exciting, enjoyable, entertaining

Sho was great! He took care to visit stores and places that we were interested in. He also had great recommendations for a cafe for the adults to enjoy while he continued with the kids. Then he even made us a dinner reservation that evening! Fantastic!
