Highlights

A tour guide will take you to the Akihabara Electric Town, visiting several shops along the way. Akihabara is home to numerous stores specializing in figures, video games, and character merchandise. Visitors of all ages both adults and children can enjoy the area, which features goods from globally popular Japanese anime and games, as well as the robots that have become a hallmark of this "technology town." You can also enjoy food and drinks at a maid café; the menu items featuring "drawings" created by the maids are a huge hit. Throughout the tour, you will learn a great deal about Akihabara's history, including its significance regarding electronic components and personal computers. Please feel free to ask if there is anything specific you would like to know about Akihabara.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

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