Akihabara is unlike anywhere else in Tokyo, a neighborhood where floors of rare collectibles sit above retro arcades, and themed cafes hide between electronics shops that have been running for decades. Most visitors scratch the surface. This tour goes deeper.
With your Local Expert, explore the iconic and the overlooked, the stores worth your time, the arcades that regulars actually go to, and the otaku culture that turned this corner of Tokyo into a global phenomenon. Your Local Expert brings the insider knowledge so you leave Akihabara knowing exactly what you saw and why it matters.

A.
Akihabara is walkable, but without a local you'll spend most of your time in the obvious tourist stores. With one, you get the floors and back-street shops that regulars know, the context behind the culture, and recommendations specific to what you're actually into.
A.
Most repeat visitors stick to the same main street stores. This tour goes into the spots just outside that: the arcades, hidden floors, and specialty shops that don't advertise to tourists.
A.
Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.

Overview
Akihabara é diferente de qualquer outro lugar em Tóquio, um bairro onde andares repletos de itens raros de colecionador se misturam a fliperamas retrô, e cafés temáticos se escondem entre lojas de eletrônicos que funcionam há décadas. A maioria dos visitantes apenas arranha a superfície. Este tour vai além.
Com seu Guia Local, explore o icônico e o pouco conhecido, as lojas que valem a pena, os fliperamas frequentados pelos assíduos e a cultura otaku que transformou este canto de Tóquio em um fenômeno global. Seu Guia Local traz o conhecimento privilegiado para que você saia de Akihabara sabendo exatamente o que viu e por que isso importa.
Explore Tóquio, a capital do café e seus jardins históricos.
