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 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. Please contact me!

Reviews

Day 2 Tour - Akima/Bullet train rides, Museum of Arts

Melody S. Is an awesome person and an amazing tour guide! He helped us navigate the train system throughout our tours . He took care of all the details from beginning to end. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Japan and locations. He’s patient, funny , and kind! We enjoyed every minute of our tour and we recommend Melody Suzuki for all of your tour needs! He’s beyond amazing & we miss him already!

Melody S.

June, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! Visiting Atami was truly the perfect choice—the town was lively and full of local Japanese people, still largely undiscovered by international tourists. From the bullet train ride, seeing Mt. Fuji through the train window, enjoying delicious red snapper, capsule toys, strawberry desserts, to the breathtaking views at the art museum—it was such a memorable experience. Let’s definitely try an onsen hot spring next time! I already miss you so much as well!

The real deal

I can’t say enough about how well Melody did. Our group and our plans changed repeatedly due to a small medical emergency unrelated to our tour. Melody just rolled with the changes and adapted without missing a single beat. Our tour was custom made and tailored for exactly what we wanted to see and experience. Our favorite part of the tour was the amazing local sushi. Melody made the whole experience fun and educational. He has a deep knowledge of the geography and history of Tokyo and was enormously helpful in helping us make our way to the airport on time. On multiple occasions, Melody translated for us and helped us avoid critical mistakes. He even translated complicated instructions for 4 different prescription eye drops. We hope to see him again on our next visit!

Brian, thank you so much for spending a day and a half with me despite your busy schedule. You truly are a wonderful family! First of all, I sincerely hope he feels better soon. During our time together, we visited a maid cafe, anime department stores, a beautiful park, the Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Station. We also enjoyed the best sushi at Tsukiji Market, went to a hedgehog cafe, and visited Meiji Shrine. Next time you come to Japan, let’s also go to Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, and a traditional Japanese gardens. Take care!
