Overview

In a megalopolis such as Tokyo, a city whose greater region has a population of over 37 million people, each area has a distinct character. But none are as intense as Akihabara, the city’s tech, gaming and anime capital. On this self-guided walking tour with Context tour guide and journalist Manami Okazaki, you’ll discover the myriad of shops and entertainment complexes that make up this fascinating
suburb.

Starting in front of Kenele Stand Akihabara Station, you’ll visit several locations that are representative of entire subcultures like Hello Kitty and military-themed manga. Manami will tell you all about the latest in cutting-edge tech trends, and the fantastical worlds portrayed in anime. You’ll also take a deep dive into the ways Japanese youth interact with technology.
