【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

We had a great experience with Melody

Our travel was delayed due to weather, so we missed 2 days we had scheduled with Melody. No problem, Melody made time for us for an evening tour which was great. Melody took great photos of us, was very knowledgeable and pleasant and has excellent English. I would definitely work with Melody if I came back to Tokyo and highly recommend to other travelers!

Kevin, thank you very much for the heartfelt review. I was really looking forward to the two unique days we had carefully planned together, so the flight delay due to the weather was very unfortunate. However, I am really happy that we were still able to meet, even if only for a short time. I was also impressed by your deep understanding of Japanese culture. Since you will be staying in Japan for a few more days, I will do my best to support you as much as possible. Enjoy your time here, and I hope to see you again! Arigato!

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!

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!
