Bringing Japan’s Culture, Flavor, and Pop Culture Magic to the World
Every December, Tokyo Comic Con transforms Makuhari Messe into a world of imagination, where film, comics, gaming, cosplay, and creativity collide. And this year, Arigato Travel is honored to step into that world as the official international tour and experience partner for Tokyo Comic Con 2025.
From December 5 to 7, thousands of fans from around the globe will gather in Chiba, and we are here to help them go beyond the convention floor and truly experience Japan. Think hands-on culture, hidden gems, delicious discoveries, and a deeper connection to the stories and artistry fans already love.

A Special Partnership for a Special Community
This collaboration is a dream for our team. We believe that storytelling is at the heart of both travel and fandom, and Tokyo Comic Con visitors are some of the most curious, passionate and adventurous travelers out there.
That is why we created special-edition experiences available only during Comic Con week, along with unique pricing on two of our beloved signature tours. These tours run from December 3 through December 9, giving travelers time to explore both before and after the convention.
Each experience is designed to connect guests with Japan’s culture in a meaningful and memorable way through taste, creativity, craftsmanship, and local neighborhoods full of character.
