The Manga Tour
Welcome to the Ikebukuro Manga Tour! Everyone knows Ikebukuro for its huge influence in anime, but did you know that it was first known as a center for the manga art scene? Through our hand-held walking tour, WaTo Tokyo will introduce you to the history of manga as we wander through the incredible Rikkyo University and the Ikebukuro Montparnasse neighborhood, stop to look at the only Frank Lloyd Wright building in Tokyo, detour to the one-of-a-kind Tokiwaso Manga Museum, and end at the biggest bookstore in Japan. Along the way, our tour will direct you to incredible photo opportunities to make sure you leave with some unique memories to share with your friends. 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.
