Akihabara AI Guide

秋葉原AIガイド

An Akihabara guide that runs in your browser. Ask it where to find something, or let it walk you through the neighbourhood on its own — no booking, no fixed meeting time. For anyone who wants help hunting something down without paying for a guided tour.

⚠ Not available yet The AI Guide is still in development, with release planned by November 2026. Everything below describes what it will do at launch and may still change. Send us a message and we'll tell you when it's live.

What it is

Two things in one app, both opened straight from a browser. The first is a chat: type what you're looking for — a figure, a card set, a shop that still stocks something from 2009 — and it answers with where to go in Akihabara and what to expect there.

The second is a guided walk. Start a tour in the app and it takes you through the neighbourhood step by step, the way a human guide would, at whatever hour you happen to be free.

What's inside

◢ Planned at launch

  • Chat: ask where to find specific goods
  • Self-guided tour mode in the browser
  • Anime goods information
  • Event and release information
  • Crane game technique — how to actually win
  • Anime pilgrimage locations

△ What it isn't

  • A human guide — no one meets you at the station
  • Translation help in a shop
  • Photography service
  • Pre-arrival research on your wishlist
  • Ticket or reservation handling

Who it's for

A guided tour is a real cost, and not every trip has room for it. If you'd still like an insider pointing you at the right building and the right floor while you're standing in Akihabara, this is the cheaper way to get it.

If you want someone to research your wishlist before you land, walk with you, and translate at the counter, that's still the Akihabara Open Walk or the Akihabara Private Tour.

Good to know

Q.When can I use it?
Release is planned by November 2026. Ask us to notify you and we'll message you when it goes live.
Q.What will it cost?
Not decided yet. It will be priced well below a guided tour — that's the point of it.
Q.Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in a browser, so it works from your phone as-is.
Q.Which languages?
English and Japanese at launch. Ask us if you need another language and we'll tell you what's planned.
