About Japan Otaku Guide
To document Japan’s otaku culture the way it actually is — checked in person, not summarized from other websites.
To be the guide we wished existed when planning our own first trip to Akihabara.
Why This Site Exists
Japan Otaku Guide started as a way to share what we actually find on the ground in Akihabara — real prices, real routes, and the small details that don’t show up in generic travel articles. We’re not a tour company.
The person behind this site lives and works in the Tokyo area and commutes past Akihabara regularly — this is an ongoing project based on repeat visits, not a one-time research trip. Every guide here is written from a real visit, one district at a time, starting with Akihabara.
