Hi there! I'm Mari, a Tokyo enthusiast. My passion for travel has led me to live in the US, Canada, and Australia, but my heart always brings me back to Tokyo. From the enchanting cherry blossoms to the captivating world of animation, there's no end to the wonders of this city. I'm a devout foodie, convinced that Japanese cuisine is the world's best, and I never tire of uncovering new delightful spots. Having roamed Tokyo's neighborhoods since childhood (and yes, that includes countless trips to Tokyo Disneyland in Chiba!), I'm eager to share its secrets with fellow adventurers like you. Dive into Tokyo's magic with me! All my tours can be customized upon request according to your group size or interests. Feel free to message me. I work in a team and the account manager named Kenji will send you the first contact. So don't be surprised! Certified itinerary control manager I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Some shopping deserves your full attention. This private tour is designed for women who want to explore Tokyo's anime and character shops at their own pace, with no one waiting outside or checking the time. Your host Mari is a true superfan of anything Kawaii items. She saw the latest Chiikawa movie in theaters nine times and once lined up at Starbucks for a limited Pokémon card. After you book, she'll ask what you love and build a route just for you. Examples of places you could visit: Radio Kaikan, Akihabara Radio Department Store, Mandarake, Book-Off, Super Potato, Pokémon card shops, vinyl record and vintage camera stores, gachapon halls, and a break at a Cat Cafe or Sarutahiko Coffee. Akihabara's best finds hide in back streets and upper floors that many women hesitate to enter alone. Mari knows which shops are worth it and which floors to skip, so you can go deep and feel safe. Adults only, up to 3 guests. No otaku knowledge needed. Private only(No one stranger participate with you.)
