The Fujoshi Paradise Yaoi Tour caters to fans of yaoi, a comic-book genre created mostly by women that depicts love between two men. Participants shop along Otome Road, where yaoi manga stores abound; visit yaoi-themed cafes; and talk with Makoto Tateno, a prominent yaoi artist.
The Tokyo Darkside Goth-Loli Tour focuses on the fashion trend of combining Victorian and Rococo styles with 21st-century punk and girly girl movements, as above. The trip features shopping; a visit to Harajuku, a young and trend-setting neighborhood; and a meal at the Victorian-themed Christon Cafe.
