Begin your tour right outside Akihabara Station, in front of the Electric Town South Exit.

Just steps away, arrive at the Radio Kaikan building, a landmark for anime lovers and a location featured in Steins;Gate. Here, learn about Akihabara’s culture and how it became the global capital of anime and gaming.

Start your food journey with a warm and comforting Japanese pork bun, a classic street snack you’ll often find in convenience stores (konbini), simple but incredibly satisfying, knowing son-Goku would eat 5 of those.

As you walk through Denki-gai, one of Akihabara’s main streets, discover hidden shops, anime figure stores, and where locals go to find collectibles at the best prices.

Next, enjoy a rich and flavorful gyudon (beef rice bowl), selected by Okarin himself, a perfect way to understand the concept of umami, the deep savory taste that defines Japanese cuisine.

Following the spirit of anime heroes who never skip a meal, stop for crispy karaage chicken, one of the most loved street foods in Japan.

Then, dive into one of Japan’s most iconic dishes: a comforting bowl of ramen, inspired by the kind of everyday meal seen in countless anime, like Naruto: simple, satisfying, and full of character.

For something fun and sweet, try a freshly made taiyaki, a fish Pokémon-shaped pastry filled with custard cream, a nostalgic treat often seen in anime and loved across generations.

Along the way, explore a hidden alley filled with retro gaming shops, vintage consoles, collectibles, and cards, offering a glimpse into Akihabara’s deeper otaku culture.

To finish, enjoy a colorful and delicate Japanese dessert, inspired by the playful and aesthetic side of anime culture — sweet, light, and perfect to end the experience like Sailor Moon would have.
