Anime Tour in Tokyo

Exploring Tokyo’s Animation & Otaku Dream Spots 😍🎮

Just checked off Tokyo’s best geek spots in one trip! If you’re obsessed with anime and pop culture, this itinerary packs in top-tier museums, arcades, and shopping walks (plus a super cozy budget stay!).

Day Plan:
Kick off at Tokyo Polytechnic University Suginami Animation Museum (Japan, 〒167-0043 Tokyo, Suginami City, Kamiogi, 3 Chome−29−5). Open 10:00-18:00 (closed Mon), it’s loaded with hands-on exhibits and anime history—don’t miss the voice acting booth!

Hop over to Nakano Broadway (just a quick train to Nakano), the ultimate animation shopping mall for rare manga, collectible figurines, and retro games. Hunt for hidden shops on upper floors!

Power up at Akihabara (1 Chome-12 Sotokanda, Chiyoda City)—Tokyo’s electric city, with mega anime stores, game arcades, and themed cafes. Cool tip: try “Gachapon Kaikan” for capsule-toy heaven!

Wrap with a food crawl down Ameyoko Arcade (near Ueno Station), snacking on takoyaki, melon pan, and fresh sashimi—best for lively local vibes on a budget.

Pro Tips:
- Buy a SUICA or PASMO card at any train station for cheap, tap-and-go subway rides.
- Most shops in Akihabara and Nakano take cards but bring some cash for street eats.
- Weekdays are way less crowded—hit Akihabara before noon for easier shopping!
