Dive into virtual realities on a video game tour of Tokyo
Combining cutting-edge video games with nostalgia for the good old days, this tour will please parents who grew up on Atari and Nintendo as much as kids addicted to Fortnite and Minecraft.
Led by one of our awesome insiders who knows the culture inside-out, you’ll be exploring towering, multi-storey arcades and hidden back-alleys, playing on all manner of consoles, perusing shops crammed with retro memorabilia, and stopping for lunch at one of the capital’s many game-themed cafés.
Now, we’re willing to bet that not everyone in your family is jumping for joy at the idea of a video game tour — and we get that. But hear us out, because it’s not just about playing the games. It’s about getting to know a slice of Japanese culture that, in its way, is as important and influential as tea ceremony and garden design. You wouldn’t want to be uncultured, would you?
