Tokyo Otaku Tour with a Local: 100% Personalized & Private

Otaku (also known as “geek culture”) is a phrase used to describe an avid fan of anime, manga and cosplay – gaming, electronics, animation characters, you name it. But in Japan, otaku is celebrated and enjoyed across all age groups! Your host will show you neighborhoods like Akihabara, the mothership of anime culture and many other spots that’ll have your inner geek doing somersaults of joy!

Within 24 hours after booking you’ll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you’ll be assigned a like-minded host.
