Full description
Start your Akihabara tour by making your first stop at a retro video game store. This store is considered a treasure trove for game lovers, especially for those who grew up experiencing the rise of the Japanese video game industry. Here, you can listen to the 8-bit video game keyboard music that you can hardly find anywhere else! Your guide will help you find and buy all the retro video game machines and disks. While the world is chasing after new games, look back on these old-time games that bring back charming childhood memories. Next, head over to the maid cafe - an unmissable experience whilst you're in Tokyo. Hang out with cute maids, get spells cast on your food!

Great tour! Our guide was super sweet and knowledgeable about the area. She took us to several different stores that we would never have found on our own. Both the Maid Cafe and Photo Booth were much more fun than I was expecting, it was great to have someone 'in the know' with us! She also took lots of pictures to send afterward. Great experience!
