Book an Anime Flavor Plus Cherry Blossoms Tour for an in-depth look into Tokyo's otaku scene, with an added day to explore Akihabara and Ikebukuro, plus travel through Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka.

The Anime Flavor Plus Cherry Blossom Tour is a special tour of Japan with extra time exploring even more of Tokyo’s Otaku culture. Explore the otaku hotspots of Anime Capital-of- the-World Akihabara and Shibuya, with an extra day to browse specialty anime stores in Ikebukuro at Sunshine City and Otome Road. Your knowledgeable guide will show you the popular anime culture shops and hidden spots only locals know in both areas. Our Anime Flavor Plus tours include a well-rounded itinerary through Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka, so guests will still have the opportunity to experience the top must-sees Japan has to offer.

The “Plus” portion of the tour involves some extra time in Tokyo devoted to its rich anime and gamer otaku scene. We spend the time exploring locations in top anime districts Akihabara, Ikebukuro, and Shibuya, browsing shops that sell everything a mega-fan of Japanese pop culture could want for expanding their personal collection. Browse shops along Ikebukuro's Otome Road, explore gaming stores in Akihabara or shop collectibles in Nakano Broadway, and look for your favorite Nintendo or Pokemon characters at official stores in Cyberspace Shibuya. Discover the worlds of Studio Ghibli at the Ghibli Museum, and eat lunch served by a cheerful maid at a Maid Cafe. Explore popular locations across Tokyo, some of which have appeared in popular anime. Browse the busy shops and stalls at Tsukiji Outer Market and learn to make your own sushi, walk under the enormous red lantern at Asakusa Sensoji Temple, drive past the Imperial Palace, stroll under the cherry blossoms of Ueno Park, and enjoy views of the Tokyo cityscape from the observation deck of Tokyo SkyTree.

Enjoy a brief tour of the stunning Hakone region where we will do our best to give you stunning views of Mount Fuji, either from the deck of a pirate ship cruising Lake Ashi or from an airborne gondola on the Hakone Ropeway on your way to the volcanic pools of Owakudani. Then experience a ride on a speedy Shinkansen bullet train followed by an overnight stay at an onsen resort hotel at Kanzanji Onsen. The tour proceeds to the Miho Museum, known for its distinctive architecture designed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape, and its expansive collection of Japanese and international artifacts.

The tour includes two days exploring the history and wonder of Kyoto, where our tour guides will show you the city’s best temples, shrines, gardens and traditional shops. Discover the Zen landscape garden of Tenryuji Temple, the sacred springs of Kiyomizu Temple, the shining phoenix of the Golden Pavilion, the weeping cherry tree at Maruyama Park, and the thousand red gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine. We also experience a green tea ceremony hosted by an apprentice geisha, and walk around the Gion Geisha District. We will take a short trip to Nara, where you will behold the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple, and spend time with the friendly wild deer of Nara Park. At the end of the tour, we enjoy the nightlife of Osaka at Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi.

Join an Anime Flavor Plus Tour of Japan for a deeper immersion into Tokyo’s anime scene, admire Japan’s breathtaking cherry blossoms, and explore Japan’s history and culture in Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka.
