"It's my first time visiting Akihabara, but I have no idea how to have real experiences I saw in anime..." "I really wanna have an Akiba experience but I'm running out of time..." "There's something I wanna get, but have no idea how/where to buy..." For those who have such demands, I offer the tour that you can finish within 5 hours! After meeting at JR Akihabara station and a short introduction, we'll go around places. As a native Japanese Otaku, I'm sure that I can give you the right information related to Akihabara. Also, we'll go to a maid cafe that I recommend the most out of 10 kinds of maid cafes I experienced in Akihabara, which is not well-known but is a must-see in my opinion! I recommend you prepare some wishlists of what you're looking for/where you want to go, so I can arrange the tour as you'd like!

3 amazing merits of this bike tour! #1. Start/end at your hotel This cycling tour starts and ends at your hotel! Hard to tell the taxi driver to go to the meeting point in Japanese? sweaty after the tour? No worries! (If your hotel is out of the range, let's discuss the starting point. Additional charges to be applied.) #2. e-bikes We use e-bikes, so the motor will assist you when you pedal. It's a relaxing activity. You don’t have to worry about the hill any more! #3. Private We will propose a route but this is a private tour, so you can go wherever you want with your own pace. You can also make requests such as changes of starting time, extension of the tour duration, or visits to certain spots. Tell your requests when you sign up. (Additional charges to be applied for each request) Our tours range from 15-20km, from skyscrapers to back streets in Tokyo, with multiple short stops along the way to give commentaries and let you drink up. Let's enjoy the breeze while cycling.
