Anime Spots

Anime enthusiasts and manga lovers, also known as “otaku”, will find all their wishes come true when visiting Japan. Many attractions directed towards anime/manga lovers are found in Tokyo, particularly in Akihabara.

Akihabara is the go-to town for anime goods, including figures, manga, electronics stores, and many more limited-edition items only sold in Japan. Feel free to stop by the Tokyo Anime Center located in Akihabara, which holds various anime-related events. The town is also renowned for its maid cafés. Maid cafés are themed restaurants in which waitresses dress in cosplay costumes and provide services to guests through conversation, games, and even songs.

Besides Akihabara, there are numerous anime spots found all over Tokyo. An indoor theme park in Ikebukuro, J-World Tokyo, is based on the best-selling manga magazine “Shonen Jump”. Attractions are inspired by famous mangas and animes, such as One Piece, Dragonball, and Naruto. Other fan-favorite “otaku” spots in Tokyo include Nakano Broadway, Gundam Front, Tokyo One Piece Tower, and the Suginami Animation Museum.
