Amazing experience
Amazing guides very friendly and knowledgeable! Great experience for my teenage son and I! Must do! Yusuke and the other guide were amazing. I forgot their names but saw his on my messages. She was great and they both made us feel very comfortable! She has a British accent and is Japanese. Again both great! You will walk a lot bring comfy shoes! Don’t explore before hand as they will take you to all the important spots on the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you and your son had such a great time exploring together. We’re especially glad that Yusuke and Kie made you both feel comfortable and helped make the experience memorable. We’ll definitely share your kind words with them! And yes, comfortable shoes are definitely a good idea! 😊 We hope you’ll come back to Japan someday and explore even more with us!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Shibuya Anime Tour: Food, Shopping & Arcade Fun for All Ages?
+

+
