About Your Guide
Originally from China. A self-proclaimed "Gundam otaku" who seriously researched anime during his university years.
He currently works at an advertising agency, handling SNS marketing and the planning and sales of large-scale promotions. His past experience also includes working as an apparel salesperson and a TV program MC.
Knowing Akihabara, Odaiba, and Ginza like the back of his hand, he is a smart and reliable bilingual guide you can count on.
A Gundam-loving pro takes you to the "real" Akihabara.
Akihabara is not a place you can simply wander through. Which shops to step into, which floor holds what, which limited-edition items are truly valuable — the experience changes completely depending on whether you walk with someone who knows.
Your guide, Kailing, is a self-proclaimed Gundam otaku who seriously researched anime during his university years.
On this tour, he uses his deep knowledge to the fullest, taking you from Akihabara's iconic spots to the specialty stores only insiders know. The history and culture of Gundam, his love for the characters, and how to spot items worth buying — all explained carefully in Chinese and English.
While Akihabara is the main stage, tours in other areas such as Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Nakano can also be arranged upon consultation. Feel free to discuss your preferred area when booking.
Combinations with Odaiba's life-sized Gundam statue, or a set experience with Ginza fashion shopping, can also be arranged on request (additional fees apply).
