Kicking things off with our anime tour, we will visit the lively Tokyo Character Street in Tokyo Central Station. The area is lined with various anime-themed shops, including a Jump Store, Pokemon Center, Hello Kitty shop, Ghibli store, and more! There's also Tokyo Ramen Street, Okashi Land, and Gachapon Street, perfect for someone who wants some lunch and to do a little more gift shopping for friends or for themselves!

After our adventures at Character Street, we will head to Akihabara, the town of anime. While there, enjoy shopping at some of the most popular otaku destinations, including Animate. Animate carries all kinds of character goods, electronics, and games from current and popular anime/manga series.

After shopping through the Electronic Town of Akihabara, we head to the Pokemon Mega Center, a must-go for all Pokemon lovers. Besides all the Pokemon goods they sell, they also have a battling and trading room for customers to interact with other Pokemon fans.

We will begin our morning with a trip to Tokyo Tower, Japan’s iconic tower. Tokyo Tower has been taken over by One Piece, resulting in Tokyo One Piece Tower. Known as Tongari Island, this event is filled with attractions, wonderful restaurants, and a live-action show designed to wow fans of all ages. Following our time at the tower, our anime tour will head to the anime specialized shopping complex: Nakano Broadway. Explore the many stores dedicated to anime and otaku goods or try the eight-layer ice-cream they serve downstairs!

Our day begins with a bullet train ride to Kyoto. The bullet train is the fastest way to travel on land and is considered an essential Japanese experience. Enjoy riding to Kyoto in comfort and speed, and be sure to take some photos of the scenery during your ride. Once you're in Kyoto, enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure!

Today will be devoted to exploring the traditional spots of Kyoto at your choice. You can select from a range of courses, including the Bamboo Groves and sights by Arashiyama, the ancient streets of Kiyomizu Temple and Ninnenzaka, or select a course that you feel captures the best of what you want to see. We've included a sample course with our most popular spots in Kyoto & Nara for your consideration!

Our day begins exploring the many gems of Kyoto. Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of Kyoto's many can't miss destinations that features hundreds of red tori gates, perfect for photos or just to calm your mind. There's also the stunning Golden Pavilion, or Kinkakuji Temple, Kyoto's must see attraction where the two upper floors are covered in gold leaf. The reflection of the golden temple on the lake adds to the stunning sight. There's also Ryoanji Temple close by to see stunning rock gardens.

Nara is filled with great sights to explore. First, there's the famous Todaiji Temple, a magnificent temple that holds the World Guinness Record as the largest wooden building. Inside the temple, you will behold the largest Buddha statue in Japan. Just outside the temple is the Nara Deer Park, where you will be greeted by numerous deer that roam around freely. The deer here at the park are known to be friendly and may even bow at you for a little treat.
