Are your kids into anime so much and find it hard to balance adult and kid tours in a day? Here is your answer. Anime Spot is not Akihabara anymore. There is a new place where the really anime fans are coming to which is Ikebukuro. For adults let's explore the Japanese temple and offer your prayers and for kids let's go to the huge animation store and amazing aquarium!
Ochiai-minami-nagasaki-station @east exit
- This station is the closest station to the first spot. If you need me at a certain station, please tell me. But I hope it could be the station on the Oedo line.
The Tokiwa-so Manga Museum in Tokyo celebrates the legendary apartment where iconic manga artists like Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko F. Fujio lived and worked. The museum features exhibits on the artists' lives, their creative processes, and the manga culture they shaped. It’s a must-visit place for manga enthusiasts!
Known for its serene gardens and beautiful architecture, it provides a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle. Established in the Heian period, Kongoin is a hidden gem featuring ancient statues and seasonal floral displays, making it a must-visit.
There are many character cafes in Ikebukuro but we need to book.
Please tell me your request.

“Perfect day trip exploring hidden gems of Asakusa and Ueno”
Yoshie is amazing ! She guided me throughout the trip and helped me explore some local Japanese places that took me apart !! Def recommend her to anyone who’s planning to walk and explore Japan from its heart and culture. You’ll visit places that aren’t touristy and will blend into the culture of Japan. The craft beer shop she took me to will be closest to my heart for a very long time.

(3 reviews)Hi, Sujith. Thank you for writing very worm and kind review to me. Today I had the very high quality time. I am so happy to hear that you liked my tour! See you again at your second trip in Japan!
“Exploring Tsukiji Like a Local: Best Guide Ever!”
She’s an awesome guide! Honestly, I think going to Tsukiji alone would’ve been pretty lonely. But she made it feel like I was exploring with a friend, showing me all the best spots with such a fun vibe. There are a lot of similar shops, but she pointed out ones with a century of history and some hidden gems that weren’t even crowded. The sashimi place she recommended me was super delicious. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was—she had everything ready, from wet wipes to trash bags and even sweat wipes, so I could just enjoy the experience. Next time I’m in Japan, I definitely want her to show me around again.
