Jump into the world of old school video games in Akihabara

The first stop of the Akihabara tour is a retro video game store that is considered a treasure trove for game lovers, especially for those who grew up experiencing the rise of the Japanese video game industry. Here you can listen to the 8-bit video game keyboard music which you can hardly find anywhere else! Your guide will help you find and buy all the old fashion video game machines and disks. While the world is chasing after new games, it is also a good idea to look back to these old-time games that bring back the charm of our childhood memories.

Get spell casted by cute Japanese maids in a special maid cafe

Speaking of Akihabara culture, a maid cafe is what you cannot miss out on while you're in Tokyo. In this tour, we go to a popular maid cafe among locals where you can hang out with cute maids, get spells cast on your food, and take photos! If you order an omelet or a hot latte, they will draw cute illustrations on it with ketchup / chocolate sauce!

Enjoy a wide array of interactive Akihabara style entertainment such as anime cosplay, from a local's perspective.

You can enjoy wandering around huge anime stores with hundreds of figurines and cosplay goods. There are lots of places that travelers feel awkward going to by themselves. However, with a guide, you can fully enjoy every single stop like a local!
