Highlights

In a megalopolis such as Tokyo, a city whose greater region has a population of over 37 million people, each neighborhood has a distinct character. But none are as intense as Akihabara, the city’s tech, gaming and anime capital. On this self-guided walking tour with Context tour guide and journalist Manami Okazaki, you’ll discover the myriad of shops and entertainment complexes that make up this fascinating suburb. Starting in front of Kenele Stand Akihabara Station, you’ll visit several locations that are representative of entire subcultures like Hello Kitty and military-themed manga. Manami will tell you all about the latest in cutting-edge tech trends, and the fantastical worlds portrayed in anime. You’ll also take a deep dive into the ways Japanese youth interact with technology.

About Tokio

Neonviertel, stille Schreine, großartiges Essen und eigenständige Stadtteile prägen Tokio, eine riesige, geordnete Metropole mit pünktlichen Zügen.

Jeder Stadtteil fühlt sich wie eine eigene Stadt an. Shibuyas berühmte Kreuzung und Shinjukus Türme, Bars und Gassen von Golden Gai pulsieren vor Energie, während Harajuku Jugendmode mit der waldigen Ruhe des Meiji-Schreins verbindet. In Asakusa halten der Sensō-ji-Tempel und seine Marktstraße ein älteres Tokio lebendig, und Ginza bietet gepflegte Kaufhäuser und Galerien.

Top-ranked sights in Tokio: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
