Deep Tokyo Tour -Nakano-
Have you already been to all the major cities in Tokyo? Well, here's another option from your local guide.
We will explore Nakano Broadway, a shopping centre that can be described as "deep" Akihabara. You might be able to find anime merch you've never seen before, or find items from years ago.
Meeting Point

Nakano Shopping Arcade
We'll walk through the Nakano Shopping Arcade and see where the locals buy groceries, look at the area where a lot of Izakayas (dining bars) are crammed, to reach Nakano Broadway, our final destination.
Early Lunch
My recommendation is the Udon shop inside Nakano Broadway, which is run by a former animator of Studio Ghibli. But, Nakano has many places to eat, so if you have any other requests, I will give you other options!
Most shops in Nakano Broadway (shopping mall) opens from 12:00 so we'll have an early lunch before we go shopping.
Nakano Broadway
I'll walk you through Nakano Broadway, where you'll be able to look for anime merch and other items. The building has many anime merch shops, comic store, Gatcha games, two game centers, a few snack shops, and more! The underground floor has groceries, so if you're interested, you can see what kind of things the locals buy for their everyday meal.

Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Amazing Experience with Ayaka”
My tour guide, Ayaka, provided an amazing experience, which exceeded my expectations. She planned the tour exactly based on my request and provided insightful context covering history, geography, culture, and recent developments. She is very knowledgable, professional, flexible, and provided an excellent service. She is a talented individual with the right skills and an asset to your company. Thank you Ayaka. I learned quite a bit and looking forward to the future encounters. Best/Fabian

Exploring New and Traditional Culture -in Akihabara-
“Unforgettable day in Tokyo!”
As a first time traveler Tokyo was so intimidating and scary but Ayaka made my first time so memorable! She was more like a friend than a pure business type. She was so knowledgeable and kind and I could see her passion for our similar interests. It was a perfect mix of traditional and modern culture exactly as advertised. I wish I could book her again for another maid cafe experience if she was free!!!
“Day 1 - Tokyo personalised Day”
Wow, what an experience. Better than anticipated and a great way to experience the depth of culture of Tokyo. We would highly recommend. A day to remember.
