    The tour was really good. My favorite part was playing the coop arcade games. We played games similar to DoDonPachi and guitar hero. I had a blast playing. Ohh and that game of Mario cart got really heated in a good way lol. Really close game. Im a big foodie and one piece fan and they were very considerate in giving food recommendations and stopping by a one piece themed store. When the tour was over they dropped me off at a ramen shop and helped me order my food. Highly recommend for first timers to Ikebukuro!

    Dear Antoine Whitaker, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Ikebukuro Anime and Game Culture Experience Tour. The guitar and drum session was amazing, wasn’t it? You had great rhythm! 🎸🥁 We’re really glad we could visit the One Piece specialty store, especially since there isn’t one in Akihabara. How was the Abura Soba? 🍜 Ikebukuro has many famous ramen spots as well. One of the most popular places among international visitors is Mutekiya—definitely worth checking out next time! Whenever you visit Japan again, we’d love to show you even more great places! And of course, we’ll have to settle the Mario Kart rematch! 🚗💨 Thank you once again, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best regards, Takeshi Morimoto Koikoi Japan Tour
