ANIME TRAVEL GUIDE JAPAN | 3 Must-Know Tips from a Local Otaku 🍜
I am unfortunately a lifelong otaku. The only benefit of this are these tips I can share with you all today 😇
This video is covering some LONG REQUESTED topics!!! I’m calling it “3 tips” but it’s more like “3 areas of advice” but that sounds bad lol 😅 WELL!!! ANYWAYS!! I’m going to be covering “LOCATIONS” (where to shop), “EATING” (anime cafes), and TOURISM (pilgrimages). 💕
Please understand it would be impossible for me to mention EVERYTHING in a video, and I actually cut out a lot that I filmed to make it more…palatable lmao 😂 SO PLEASE!!! Share your tips/locations down below in the comments!!! Not just for me but for everyone else who watches! 🙂

Awesome video, would you recommend someone visit Japan alone?
I wanna move there eventually. What helped you get over there like what was your plan?
this video was great! the best otaku in Tokyo guide ive seen! bouta search if u made another heh
How be the anime food restaurant in Tokyo City ?
I’m 55 yrs so I don’t get much of this but I really enjoy your sense of adventure. To me that’s so brave.
😂😂😂😂awesome
😂❤❤❤
I'm not a Nendoroid collector but there always has been one that i've kept a look out for just in case… my grail if you will and I SEEEEE ITTTTTTTTTT at 4:28… 524… I've never seen one in the wild before… >.<
im going to tokyo next yr ! my otaku childhood dream is coming true! do you know any anime events in february
How much should be budgeted for a similar trip (USA to Japan)?
I went to Shirakawa-go, the place where Hinamizawa (Higurashi no naku koro ni village) is based on, and it’s so beautiful 🩷🩷
I play otome games (code realize, collar x malice, olympia soiree, piofiore, etc) so it’s not exactly anime. I wonder if they have merch there in otome road.
Hello me and a friend of mine are thinking about traveling to japan for a week or so and since we are big anime fans we are wondering if the best location to stai its in akihabara or would it be better to stay in another nearby location and just go to akihabara via train?
Actually the most helpful guide! Thanks!
i also wouldnt say ikebukuro is just for girls. im a guy and i like bl, male idol anime, etc, and loved ikebukuro. guys can and do like that stuff too tbh akihabara bored me bc it was mostly the new, popular stuff or just p*rn.
great video! i didn’t know anime pilgrimage was a thing! I’d definitely look into this ✨
ill be in japan for the first time ever in oct so this will be very helpful thank you !!!
Been looking for card captor sakura!!!
Going to Kyushu this year. There is an Attack on Titan museum and you can visit the dam wall that inspired the show. There is also a location from demon slayer and let's not forget, harmony land – sanrio park (hello kitty fans!) I also visit the island that inspired princess mononoke. When I planned my trip I didn't realize how much anime was in Kyushu but it's a nice bonus. Fingers crossed I can also get tickets to studio ghibli 🤞
Great video! My wife and I are going to Japan next month and hoping to spend a day in Nerima checking out locations from shigatsu wa kimi no uso if we can figure out how to get around there! Question as far as finding goods from specific anime… my wife LOVES yuru camp and is wanting to find some merch. Pretty hard to come by here in the states, any suggestions of specific places to look or is it popular enough in japan that it shouldnt be an issue?
What gray backpack are you wearing in the Mandarake clip?
Jujutsu kisan in universal studio
My otaku mate and I are planning our dream trip for next year (Im coming from UK, he's coming from OZ) we want to come during cherry blossom season so we're watching livestreams to see when it is this year and then targeting three full weeks (excluding travel) over there. Thankyou so much for all your advice vids, we've not watched all of them yet, but from those we have we have added SO MUCH to our planning mindmap!
Will gladly treat to you to a meal at your favorite anime cafe next year as thanks and to just have a chat with someone with interest-specific local knowledge if you're up for it.
Do you have a preference as to which one is better the Naruto Theme Park in Awaji Island or The Fuji Q Highland naruto part.
Hi. Do you know where I can find Tenyo Disney puzzles?
Omg this was so helpful!
I am taking notes!!✍ We're hoping to visit this year so I am stocking up on videos and tips!💖
アリソンさん、 とても貴重な情報をありがとうございました。私は、アメリカに住む日本人ですが、アニメ好きの子供達を連れて日本でどこに連れて行っていいのかわからなかったので、とても参考になりました。
Can you make a video how to buy Ghibli museum tickets? There are no guides available how to buy it since the pandemic. Unfortunately, the system changed since then.
Omg!! I’ve been searching around for Japan travel tips and your vids are by far the most helpful! (And not overdone and cringe lol THANK YOU) Gonna binge all your videos to prepare for our March trip! We’ve been wondering how in the heck to find out about anime theme pop ups, thanks for sharing the website! CANT WAIT TO SHOP omg
Does anyone have recommendations on websites/accounts that help make reservations for anime pop cafes, please❤? in English 😢
Ikebukuro is a priority per falling for Durarara 10 years ago, well after visiting the shoppe which inspired Love Hina :>
Thanks for the suggestions. I will be visiting Tokyo next week and i'm totally stoked!
Hey Alison I'm from New Zealand n just came across ur page. I was wandering what bars and clubs you'd recommend for me n my mates? Or if there's a particular city/ region we should check out for that sort of stuff. We're all early 20's n keen as to come visit!
I'm a mom, I was in Japan 25 years ago and I'm taking my kid for his high school graduation. Your videos are great as I try to navigate his love of Anime, architecture and history. Thank you!
Definitely need a follow up video!
imagine my embarrassment when my family dropped me off at animate akihabara and see me enter a store with huge ecchi posters on both side of the doors?? lesson learned. at least i also got to bring back dmmd merch :')
You mentioned Rilakkuma teahouse in the video. How can I find it?
@Alison in Tokyo hi, could you please tell me is Rashinban a separate store or is it located inside of another building inside of Akihabara and if it is it's own store could please provide me with the address as nothing is coming up for that place on a Google search
I would really recommend when you explain different locations and other things, add more pictures or even small clips to show exactly what you talking about… Regardless thank you for the video, very helpful!
