“An awesome guide ”
We had such a great time with Melody. And as managed to cover so many attractions in a short period of time. I highly recommend him and will be using him again when we return to Tokyo. He is knowledgeable about Japan and its history and very polite and accommodating. It was absolutely great meeting him

Sthabiso, yes, we packed a schedule in the final day and covered seven spots in a day (shrine, bridge, forest, castle, Gion area, shopping street, and market)! Throughout the tour, you all kindly treated me like a friend or even a family member. We had a lot of experiences in Japan but it is only a part of our culture. Next time, let’s try new stuff like maid cafe, hot springs, museums, and okonomiyaki place. I’ll never forget such beautiful and beloved memories. Siyabonga kakhulu, inkosi ikubusise !

Akihabara Maid Cafe Tour by Former Maid Cafe Manager
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!
