Best part of our trip

Deonawheeler, Mar 2026

Friendly and professional. We had an amazing time. It was wonderful to have a pickup and drop off at the hotel, as we were laden with bags. He was super knowledgeable and flexible. He showed us all best places for manga/anime/gaming/figures/toys. If you are on the fence, go with the tour. You won't regret it.

Great time with Takeshi!

Takeshi was great. He was knowledgeable, fun and adaptable. We highly recommend him. Even though it was a gale storm he made it great. Thanks for everything

A great experience with an understanding exception

Experience was great other then our host had a personal matter to attend too in which I had to get out of him with why we felt we were being rushed I get it but I don't like dishonesty he should of been upfront with us from beginning we were still understanding other then that awesome Experience he was trying to help me find my Funko pops in Akihabara in which I couldn't find so after he left me and my wife still had an amazing experience. We still did our thing after he left. I would still recommend him but be honest everybody understands things can happen and most of us will be understanding. I had fun at the arcades played some games and got to do the things I have been wanting to do. Please don't discourage my review he was an amazing honest be honest when something happens that's it. He took us to a great maid Cafe that I been wanting to go too.

Great experience

We had a great experience. Takeshi contacted us prior to the tour to find out what we were interested in. He customised the day to suit our interests. Excellent guide and perfect English. Thank you 😊
