Top 10 Movie & TV Tours in Tokyo, Kanto

December 22, 2021 Layne Dawes

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Enjoy a tour of the sets and locations from the famous Japanese movie Have you ever heard the name "Shibamata"? It is one of the most popular historic districts. "Shibamata" still remains old Japanese landscapes and often used as the stage of Japanese movies.

This tour will make you feel as if you have wandered into the world of Japanese cinema. In Shibamata you can also try amazing Japanese tea "Maccha", which nominated as one of the greatest Japanese tea, and ride the only watashibune left in Tokyo; a rowboat that has been carrying people across the Edo River for hundreds of years.

"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!

Inclusions: Welcome drink is on me!

Exclusions: Fees in maid cafe

Virtually visit Tokyo's Electric Town in Akihabara (Akiba) with a local guide! Join this Akihabara anime tour in Tokyo to hunt games and anime goods. This virtual tour has been designed for those who plan to visit Akihabara someday and have interests in Japanese anime & game culture. What travelers treasure the most during the trip is time. To make the full use of every minute, getting a guide is a great way to avoid all those time wasted on getting lost in the street. Especially in Akihabara where there are tons of travelers just going there and purchasing electric products around station, you cannot expect all the fun subcultural spots to be set around station. If you are a game or anime lover, you may get disappointed by finding it so hard to reach all the fun spots like I used to experience. Joining a tour will save you a lot of time and energy for a better traveling experience! *All times specified are in Japan Standard Time(GMT +9:00). Please check your time zone*

Inclusions: 1 hour with a local guide

Exclusions: Equipment and internet connection, All Fees and Taxes

The tour guide was not needed if we were given a map of the theme park. I was looking forward to looking at the Winery but oh what a disappointment, Just a few empty barrels and at the end of the short walk through the walk way to the wine bar. No free samples and certainly did not have a french feel with a picture of St Marks Square Italy. Would have liked to look around the gardens but was hurried to the next cable car to the the top to the theme park not impressed. I had high hopes for this trip but felt let down., More toilet stops on the way there would have been good due to medication I struggled. More for families. Disney land and still building work being carried out. Would advise not to go but go to and spend more time at Hue, I did like the views on the cable cars going up and down.
