Old school games, niche snacks, all sorts of figures and more including a cat cafe. Was a great way to just relax and have fun.

I live nearby, but Tokyo can be super overwhelming so I decided to book a tour to explore Akihabara. Danny was a great guide and he took the pressure off of us trying to figure things out with a language barrier. The maid cafe felt like a locals experience versus some I have seen that are marketed for tourists. We had fun exploring Akihabara, and we learned more with a guide than we could’ve on our own!
