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.

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 US and the UK, 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!

Thorough preparation in understanding our objectives & likes, punctuality,  desire 2 share the city he loves & knows are unparallel. We had seen the streets & alleys; have eaten food which only was possible under his guidance.  To top this all , his fun and pleasant personality not once failed even under unexpected need to change the itinerary. Would not ask 4  a better guide!!!.....small comment- even crossing the Tokyo streets Melody protects his guests like a caring guardian!!! Million of thanks!!

Thoughtful, flexible and very professional guide in Tokyo

We booked this private Tokyo tour for our guests, and the experience was very positive. Melody communicated clearly before the tour, was very helpful with the planning, and showed great flexibility with the itinerary. On the day of the tour, the route was adapted to the guests’ interests and the experience was smooth, comfortable and well organized. Our guests were very happy with the tour. Thank you, Melody, for your care, flexibility and professionalism.

Iknos, thank you for your wonderful review and for introducing such amazing VIP guests to me. Before their trip, we worked together to create the best possible itinerary for them. During the tour, we visited Tokyo Station, Tokyo National Museum, and The National Museum of Western Art, where we enjoyed the special Hokusai exhibition. We also had delicious okonomiyaki in Ningyocho. What a beautiful tour it was—filled with art, culture, and charming neighborhoods that are mostly known only to locals. I truly enjoyed sharing these hidden sides of Tokyo with our guests. I look forward to working with you again in the future!
