Every tour is 100% PRIVATE — just your group and me, never mixed with other travelers. The whole day follows your favorite series, your pace and your wishlist. "It's my first time visiting Akihabara, but I have no idea how to have real experiences I saw in anime..." "I really wanna have an Akiba experience but I'm running out of time..." "There's something I wanna get, but have no idea how/where to buy..." For those who have such demands, I offer the tour that you can finish within 5 hours! After meeting at JR Akihabara station and a short introduction, we'll go around places. As a native Japanese Otaku, I'm sure that I can give you the right information related to Akihabara. Also, we'll go to a maid cafe that I recommend the most out of 10 kinds of maid cafes I experienced in Akihabara, which is not well-known but is a must-see in my opinion! I recommend you prepare some wishlists of what you're looking for/where you want to go, so I can arrange the tour as you'd like!

The spirit of Japan endures in Samurai. A Samurai is not a swordsman, but one who carries the sword in the heart. Be Samurai. Only then does Japan reveal itself. Walk the path with Kendo Spirit. ◉Why Kendo? Kendo is not a sport born from modern design. It is a living tradition shaped by samurai to survive, transformed to preserve Bushido, and passed down through the body, generation after generation. It is still practiced today because its spirit is still needed. Bushido lives on, in its purest form, through Kendo. ◉Who this experience is for This experience is for those who are curious about Japan beyond the surface. For those who value discipline, respect, and meaning over entertainment. For those who want to experience the spirit of Bushido through their body, not just hear about it. You don’t need kendo experience. You do need an open mind and a willingness to face yourself.
