The Anime Tour
Welcome to the Ikebukuro Anime Tour! Ikebukuro is known for one thing: anime culture. Through our hand-held walking tour, WaTo Tokyo will introduce you to the history of anime, from its humble origins on Otome Road to the mega-industry it’s become. We’ll start in the center of anime activity in Nishi-Ikebukuro Park, walk over to Otome Road and the famous Swallowtail, Mandarake, and K-Books, and then head over to take a tour through Sunshine City and the Pokemon Center. We’ll end with the best shopping of all: the world’s biggest Animate. Along the way, our tour will direct you to yummy food, incredible photo opportunities, and we'll keep you busy with mini-games and challenges along the tour route to make things fun and interactive. Come walk with us!
This hand-held walking tour is best for groups of 2-6, and can take anywhere from 1-3 hours to complete, depending on how many challenges you partake in. This tour is self-guided, so you can go anytime. We recommend starting early afternoon to early evening. Most stores and shops don’t open until 10 AM. This tour comes as a downloadable PDF you can refer to on your phone. You don't need WiFi access, but it helps to have a connection for directions. We recommend using this tour with good walking shoes, sunscreen, and pocket change.
