Hi, I'm Yuuki. I'm a Tokyo local, and I've watched more than 1,500 anime series. That habit turned into a job: I now guide private tours of Akihabara and the rest of Tokyo, and I teach Japanese one-to-one online. Teaching is the day job, and it shapes how I guide. I've taught over 2,000 lessons to 443 students around the world, with an average rating of 5.0 from 358 student reviews. Every day I explain Japan to people meeting it for the first time, so on a tour I don't lecture. I give you the one phrase or story that makes the next street make sense. Travellers have left 347 reviews of my Akihabara tour on other booking sites, with an average close to five stars. Before we meet, I ask which series you love, and I build the route around your list: the right floor of the right building, the shops locals use, and the places that don't show up on a map. Tokyo is more than anime, and I'm just as happy showing you Senso-ji in Asakusa, the forest around Meiji Jingu, the Shibuya crossing, or the tiny bars of Golden Gai after dark. I'll add a small pop-culture stop where it fits, because most of my guests end up asking for one. Every tour is private: only your group and me. Tell me what you love, how fast you like to walk, and what you eat, and I'll plan a day around you. I look forward to meeting you in Tokyo.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

This is a day out in Akihabara with a local who has watched more than 1,500 anime series. Before we meet, you tell me what you love, and I plan the route around it. We go up the buildings that stock your series: retro games, figures, fan-made manga, capsule toys and more, with the culture explained rather than just pointed at. We also stand on streets that anime scenes were drawn from. After the tour I send you a PDF map of every spot we visited, plus price notes on what you bought. It is a private tour, only your group and me, at your pace.
