Akihabara Otaku Deep Dive Tour
In this era of such rapid technological advancement, the vision of this tour was always to reaffirm the humanity of us all. The tour provides the value of actually experiencing things for ourselves, and the empathy and joy that come from interacting with others. Taking our existing tour a step further, we have added the extra value of "otaku" into the mix! We define "otaku" as the "masters and professionals of a specific subject," and through working alongside them, we now have a tour of the otaku, by the otaku, for the otaku. The tour is composed of three parts: sightseeing, experience, and interaction. Starting from the standard sightseeing, you will be accompanied by both a guide and a cameraman. The experience part will allow you to enhance your plastic model making under the tutelage of a plastic model otaku—in this case, someone involved in the industry and who creates guidebooks for the hobby! Otaku will also share other aspects of the appeal of Akihabara that are hard to access on other tours, or when visiting alone. During the exchange section at the end of the tour, you will be able to enjoy a meal while chatting with native otaku of Akihabara, providing a chance to meet and interact with otaku themselves. The implementation of this event will make full use of the latest technology in order to remove the language barrier as much as possible. You will also receive a commemorative gift for taking part in the tour.
