QUESTIONS
PRIVATE TOURS, ANSWERED.
How much does a custom anime tour cost?
There are three shapes. The Akihabara half-day (3 to 4 hours) is ¥18,000 per person for 1 to 2 guests, or ¥45,000 per group for 3 to 6. A private Tokyo day is ¥45,000 for 4 hours or ¥60,000 for 6 hours, per group of 1 to 6. For several days, each guided day is ¥60,000 (6 hours, 1 to 6 guests), and a written plan with no guiding is ¥15,000 per trip. Groups of 7 to 10 pay ¥8,000 per extra guest. Meals, tickets and train fares are paid as you go.
What is the difference between the three shapes?
The Akihabara half-day is 3 to 4 hours inside Akihabara, tailored to the series you name, and you can book it instantly. The private Tokyo day is 4 or 6 hours anywhere in Tokyo: anime, food, first-day manners, or a mix. The multi-day shape is for longer trips: I write the whole itinerary for your dates, guide some days, and give you a written plan for the days you spend on your own.
Can you plan for kids, families or dietary needs?
Yes. The example plans on this page include a family of three with a ten-minute survival-Japanese warm-up and a couple where one eats no meat, which decided every food stop. Tell me ages, mobility and diet in the form and the route is built around them.
Is the tour in English?
Yes, fully in English. I'm a professional Japanese teacher, so I translate shop signs, menus and conversations as we go. You don't need any Japanese.
Can I book on Viator, Airbnb or GetYourGuide instead?
Yes. The Akihabara tour is listed on Airbnb, Viator and GetYourGuide if you prefer to pay through a platform you trust. Booking direct skips the booking-site fee, so more of what you pay reaches the person guiding you.
What if I need to cancel or change the date?
Full refund if you cancel 24 hours or more before the start. Need a different date instead? Message me rather than cancelling: if I'm free, moving your booking costs nothing. If I have to cancel for any reason on my side, such as illness or a typhoon, you get everything back, whenever it happens.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable. Popular weeks fill a month ahead. Last-minute dates are sometimes possible, so check the calendar or send me a message.
Will Yuuki personally guide our tour?
Yes, always. I plan it and I guide it. I don't hand tours to other guides.
More questions (tipping, cash, rain, toilets, shipping) are answered in the main FAQ.
PREFER A BOOKING SITE
OR BOOK THROUGH AN OTA.
If you'd rather pay through a platform you already trust, book the standard Akihabara tour there and tell me your wishes afterwards. I'll still tailor the day. Coming direct just means more of what you pay reaches the person guiding you.
