Our anime-themed adventure begins in Tsukiji, Tokyo’s iconic fish market known not only for its fresh seafood but also as the inspiration behind countless anime food scenes—from sushi-making montages in One Piece to market strolls in Shokugeki no Soma. Feel the energy of this culinary hub as we stroll through lively stalls and taste local specialties featured in anime culture.

Next, we step into the timeless streets of Asakusa, a popular setting in anime like Demon Slayer and Sarusuberi. We'll walk along Nakamise-dori, a traditional shopping street lined with vendors selling kimono accessories, hand fans, and lucky charms—perfect for anime-style photo ops. Don't miss Sensoji Temple, often seen in historical anime set in Edo-era Tokyo.

At lunchtime, enjoy a seasonal Japanese meal that mirrors the dishes beloved by anime characters—from classic bento aesthetics to crispy tempura and delicate seasonal flavors. This is your chance to experience the kind of food scenes you’ve seen animated on screen.

Afterward, we dive into the vibrant pop culture epicenter of Shibuya. Snap a photo with the famous Hachiko statue, often referenced in anime like DIGIMON and Tokyo Godfathers, and experience the electric rush of the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, a backdrop for countless scenes in anime and J-dramas alike.

We end the day at the world-renowned eamLab Planets Tokyo, an immersive digital art museum that blends light, sound, and interaction—creating a dreamlike setting worthy of a Studio Ghibli fantasy.
