Join us for an exhilarating journey through Tokyo's top highlights: the bustling outer market of Tsukiji and the otaku paradise of Akihabara. Navigate these labyrinth-like spots with a local expert, a guide whose family history in the seafood business and past experience in developing video games for a Japanese electronics maker deepens your exploration. This guide is not only well-versed in seafood but also deeply ingrained in Japanese pop culture.
For lunch, we'll be in Tsukiji. If you desire, join us at a sushi restaurant beloved by locals, not just tailored for tourists, where you can dine with our guide .
Alternatively, enjoy an hour to explore independently, reconvening with the group afterward.
In Akihabara, we'll start by revisiting the remnants of its electric town past, then explore shops selling carefully selected souvenirs suited for foreigners, stores featuring world-famous retro video games, the mecca of capsule toys, and streets lined with computer parts.
