Overview

Join a local guide to explore Nakano, a neighbourhood where Japanese subcultures and everyday local life come together. Just a 5-minute train ride from Shinjuku, Nakano Broadway is a must-see destination for anime and manga fans, filled with rare figures, vintage collectibles, and nostalgic charm.

Most of the tour takes place indoors, so you can enjoy it comfortably even on hot, cold, or rainy days. After diving into Japan’s pop culture scene, we’ll take you through Nakano’s retro alleyways and lively izakaya district, a taste of old Tokyo that tourists rarely get to see.

Things to note

Please Read Carefully Before Booking

Please make sure you can definitely attend before booking the tour.
We kindly ask you to refrain from booking if your schedule is still uncertain,
such as bookings made more than two months in advance or on your arrival day in Japan.

Last-minute cancellations and no-shows have a serious impact on tour preparation and operation.
If you must cancel, please be sure to inform us at least one day in advance.

Please arrive at the meeting point at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.
If you are significantly late, you may not be able to join the tour.

To provide a warm and welcoming experience, volunteer assistants may occasionally join the tour.
If you enjoy the tour and wish to leave a tip, a tip for one guide only is more than sufficient.

The tour is conducted mainly indoors and will take place rain or shine.

Any food or drinks during the tour are at your own expense.

How can the tour be free?

Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.

Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
