Why not go for drinking with me?!


Golden Gai is the biggest bar-hopping area in Japan. There are about 300 bars in the area. However, it is often hard for beginners to tell which one to enter.


No worries! As a local bar hopping master, I will take you to the best shops.

Moreover, I can talk to you like your old friend. Let's have a great chat and make the night unforgettable!

About Tour Guide Melody S.

*Note: March and April are almost fully booked with daytime tours. Even if a date cannot be selected on the calendar, I may still be able to offer cherry blossom viewing tours with a professional photographer (very popular!) , short night tours, bar-hopping tours, or maid cafe tours. If you are interested in any of these, please feel free to send me a message. During the tour, I can also give travel advice and help you plan for other days of your trip, so it can be a very valuable experience.


【Biography】

Hi! I’m a nationally licensed tour guide with in-depth knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and geography.

I was born in a suburb and raised in Tokyo, which gives me both a local and metropolitan perspective on Japan.

I studied abroad in the United States and the United Kingdom, where I met wonderful people from all over the world and developed a truly global mindset.

Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked as an IT engineer, hotel receptionist, and manager of a maid cafe—experiences that help me connect naturally with travelers from many different backgrounds.


【Interests】

-Maid cafes and pop idols

-Manga and anime

-Art and architecture

-Hot springs and public baths

-Socializing and exploring great food


【Certifications】

-National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter

-General Certified Travel Supervisor

-Domestic Certified Travel Supervisor


I am based in Tokyo but will happily arrange a tour only for your group, in area Kawagoe, Saitama, Hakone, Kamakura, Narita, Nikko, Shizuoka, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Tochigi, Kyoto, etc. Please contact me!

Reviews

I'd give Melody 500 stars if i could!!

Melody was an absolutely brilliant guide! We ended up needing to book a guide last minute and we were so lucky to get Melody! He's incredibly knowledgeable in a variety of subjects from art and history to anime and gaming. He was a really fun person to walk around the city with and his English is top notch! He answered all our questions and was curious about our backgrounds as well. We started as clients and ended up as friends! We highly recommend Melody to provide you with an appreciation for Japan and the Japanese people!

Melody S.

Lynda, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I would also like to give you 500 thank-yous in return. I really enjoyed learning about your culture as well. It was great fun exploring so much architecture together. I’m especially happy we managed to find plenty of cat goods along the way! I truly enjoyed our time together and hope the rest of your trip in Japan is fantastic. Take care, my friends!
