“A Fun Few Hours Of Quirky Tokyo”

Melody is a charming young man who was a pleasure to be with. Although I'm not hugely interested in Anime or the cutesy Maid Cafes of Japan, when in Tokyo you have to at least see the things you wont see at home. I've been to Akihabara a few times before, but it's so much easier to visit with a local who can save you time by guiding you to hidden stores and cafes which are not easily seen from the street, so Melody's services were invaluable, and I saw a whole new side to the area. I'm delighted to have had the experience, even though it's still not my thing. Yet oddly enough, I would probably do it again and dig a little deeper into the culture. Japan never fails to fascinate, and if you get the chance you have to take every opportunity available. And there's absolutely no reason why I wouldn't wish to spend time with Melody again and have another new adventure.

Simon, thank you for the lovely comment. We met only for 3 hours but enjoyed a lot of conversations. You taught me fashion and clothes, while I taught you maid cafes. Maid cafe is very Japanese, considering the background why it's so popular in here. I like you blushing in the photo with a maid. See you next time!

“A Fascinating Guide for a Fascinating City”

Akira is a native of Tokyo and knows it perfectly. He escorted us on the Tokyo subway, by taxi and also by foot to a variety of temples and shrines, where he explained customs of prayer and respect. As we traveled around the city, he gave us practical instructions about how things work. He took us to various craft shops including ceramics, paper and fabric, as well as to interesting restaurants for lunch and dinner. Conversation flowed easily and was very informative. Akira is personable, exceptionally well-read in Japanese literature and history, and we learned a tremendous amount about Japan from him, while enjoying every minute. We give him our highest possible recommendation. Thank you for everything, Akira!
