After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to shape your perfect route. Here are a few stops you might explore:

3
Akihabara Electric Town
Dive into Tokyo’s center of anime, manga, and video game culture. From character shops and vintage arcades to buzzing backstreets filled with collectibles and curiosities, your host will guide you through its high-energy atmosphere.
4
Meguro Parasitological Museum
Meguro Parasitological Museum (exterior)
Pass by one of Tokyo’s most unusual landmarks—a scientific museum dedicated entirely to parasites. While you won’t go inside, your host will explain what makes this spot so uniquely Tokyo and why it fascinates so many locals.
