Great way to start with Tokyo Anime and Cosplay

Donald_D, Aug 2024

Seiko was a wonderful, engaging, and informative guide! She showed our 16 year old daughter many hard to find shops and attractions in Akihabara and Harajuku. She knew all of the anime characters our daughter was interested in, and even showed her a second hand cosplay shop where out daughter secured a rare costume. After this fun afternoon with Seiko, our daughter was able to navigate these areas of Tokyo for the following day all by herself. We highly recommend beginning with a tour like this to get your teenagers oriented to anime Tokyo.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

We are so happy that Ari-san had a fun blast shopping with her, and now she is an expert for Gyal Fashion realm in Tokyo! Please have a safe and wonderful time in Japan, and we are so much looking forward to hosting you again in the future! please say hello to Ari-san, too!

Sho was great! He took care to visit stores and places that we were interested in. He also had great recommendations for a cafe for the adults to enjoy while he continued with the kids. Then he even made us a dinner reservation that evening! Fantastic!
