Japan · ANIME & POP CULTURE TOURS
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 7 anime & pop culture tours worth the yen, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Ride a go-kart through Akihabara with a guide, costumes, and stops at Tokyo Station and Ginza, plus flexible departure times.
“This was one of the highlights of our Tokyo! So much fun driving the Tokyo traffic in the go kart. Our guide Khan took tons of pictures so we didn’t have to and we could just enjoy the experience. Highly recommend this!”
Drive a go-kart through Asakusa, Akihabara, Skytree and more with a guide, costumes, and included photos. IDP required.
“This is such a great experience! The driving, the sights, the crew. It’s not difficult at all to drive the kart and so much fun to see Tokyo from a different level. Also, you stop at different sights and the crew makes plenty of pictures which they will share at the end. A must-do in Tokyo!”
A guided day from Shinjuku to the Ghibli Museum, Edo-Tokyo Open Air architecture, and Hotel Gajoen lunch, with tickets handled.
“you need maybe 2hrs or less for the Ghibli museum, it's not that big and you dont need to spend the whole day and add additonal activities the museum is great, there is a 15min movie and you can immerse yourself in the museum and buy merchandise”
Small-group Akihabara tour with Super Potato retro games, capsule toys, an included maid cafe drink, and Purikura photo booth in about 3 hours.
“The maid cafe was great and lots of fun. Our guide explained the history of the area succinctly and how it had changed over the years. The old technology on display was cool.”
8.5-hour Nagoya bus tour to Ghibli Park with timed Grand Warehouse entry, transfers, bento lunch, and Aichi museums on a set route.
“Non riuscivamo a trovare il punto di incontro, e la guida è andata via senza di noi. È stato difficile capire come risolvere perché non avevamo neanche il numero di telefono della guida. Alla fine abbiamo dovuto raggiungere il parco da soli a spese nostre. Pessima esperienza.”
Build a custom Game Boy in Akihabara, choose parts and colors, learn handheld history, then leave with a working modded console.
“The hosts were fantastic, very helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do!”
Street-legal go-kart through Shibuya Crossing, Harajuku, and Shinjuku with guide photos, included keepsakes, and a required hardcopy IDP check.
“Serhii was a great guide, super friendly, great route, etc. I’d definitely recommend this activity to a friend. It was cool to be riding on the same streets as the cars and to pass through Shibuya Scramble Crossing.”
