The first maid cafe was started in Akihabara.
Nowadays, there are around 200 maid cafes alone in Akihabara.
Maids will welcome guests of all genders, generations, and nationalities, but some have difficulties in English communication.
No problem. I can help you talk to them!
The good news is that I was a manager at one of the largest maid cafe chains and led 40 maids.
Other Otaku activities are also included in the tour.
Hopefully, all anime, pop idol and gadget Otaku can enjoy the tour!

“The Perfect Tour Guide”
Melody met me at my hotel (a real bonus!) and we immediately clicked. We had easy and stimulating conversation about history, culture and social norms while we explored Akihabara and that sub-culture. It was my first time in that area, and to a Maid Cafe. (My advice is to just roll with it and have fun!) Melody is very knowledgeable about the area, and was able to tailor the tour to my mood and needs. It's the little things that make a great tour, even if unplanned, like finding the perfect ginger ale near a shrine. Melody was flexible and open-minded. I highly recommend this tour, even if you're not quite 'Otaku'. :)

(1 reviews)Thank you for your kind reply, Ric. Yes, we clicked immediately! I had never expected our trip ends up such a wonderful one before we actually met up. We talked about many themes and discovered so many hidden gems of Akihabara in a short time. It was an unforgettable day. I expect you will come to Tokyo and we can meet up again!
