Booked six months out or from a hotel lobby that morning, these 4 akihabara, anime and otaku culture tours are the ones to take. Every entry below carries its price, its length and the detail that decides it, so you can choose one and get back to the map.
Race through Tokyo’s Akihabara streets in a character go-kart, guided from Tokyo Station to Ginza, with costumes, photos, and an IDP.

Drive a go-kart from Asakusa through Akihabara and Skytree with a guide, costumes, photos, and a printed souvenir in 1h10.

Small-group Akihabara walk for anime and games: Super Potato, gachapon, maid cafe drink, and Purikura photos. 3 hours.
“The most memorable part of the experience was the epihany that I was actively being scammed. The operator and the guide are not in communication.

We all abandoned the experience early. We went to a total of four shops in the first 90 minutes. The last 90…”
Build a custom Game Boy in Akihabara. Pick your parts, rebuild a DMG-01, and take home a working handheld in 2 hours.
“Amazing and friendly staff, really easy to get along with and talk to. The process of getting to build the gameboy is so much fun and i loved the mini history lesson on Nintendo’s hand held consoles.”
