Cosplay "Guidols" serve as Akihabara Tour Guides

Akibanana is a Japanese tour company that employs young women in cosplay attire to guide foreign tourists around the otaku-heaven district of Akihabara in Tokyo. Cosplay Akihabara Tours (via Tokyo Mango)

 

 

Akibanana will start the Akihabara AOA Tours from 25th July onwards. The tours will be conducted in English, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. Cherry is our poster girl and main Japanese and Chinese guide. A Chinese and Japanese version of Akibanana is on it's way, but until then, Cherry will start blogging in Japanese for her Japanese fans on Akibanana. We hope you'll welcome her Japanese presence! Cherry is not so well-versed in English but she is learning. Please support her!

Akibanana's guides are also idols, therefore we created a new category called guidols. Kinda like the maidols.

About CHERRY
Cherry is a passionate fan of manga and anime who overflows with sweetness. She has worked in a maid café in Akihabara and loves to dress up (her favorite accessory is eyeglasses). A self-described sweet tooth, she was born in a candy shop and worked in a candy factory before becoming a maid in Akiba. Cherry’s most charming feature? Her super-sweet smile, of course!
