Fantastic tour!

Emmy_B, Mar 2026

This was a great experience! Akihabara is overwhelming, but Mune showed us the best shops, how to play in arcades, how to visit a shrine, and where to find the old electronic stores. Communication before the tour and about how to meet was fantastic. My 13 year-old absolutely loved it, and so did I.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Emmy! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ☺️✨ We’re really happy to hear that you both enjoyed Akihabara! The electronic parts shops are not places we usually include in our tour, but we thought you might enjoy them given how wide your interests are—and we’re so glad you did! If you liked that nostalgic atmosphere, we feel like Akihabara itself would be happy too 🥰 If you ever come back to Japan, please feel free to reach out anytime—even if it’s not for our tour! It would be our pleasure to support you in making your trip an amazing one 🇺🇸🇯🇵✨
