Don, thank you very much for your wonderful review! Your request was truly special! Revisiting places filled with memories in Yokosuka after 30 years, tasting Japanese pears again for the first time in three decades, and even reuniting with someone from your past felt nothing short of a miracle. I'm incredibly proud to have been part of such a meaningful day. I was also deeply impressed by your excellent Japanese and how kind, warm, and funny your family was! Afterward, we headed to Kamakura, where we enjoyed delicious okonomiyaki at a local restaurant frequented by superstars! We also visited Houkokuji Temple, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Komachi Street, and the Great Buddha at Kotokuin Temple. What an unforgettable day we had together! Take care, and I hope our paths cross again someday!

“Friendly and knowledgeable!”
Our group was very impressed with the information that Melody was able to provide us with. We had an amazing time! He went above and beyond for us and I greatly appreciate his service. We were able to customize our tour to our liking and Melody was able to accommodate us at every step of the way. Even before we met up communication with him was smooth and efficient. We all have nice memories and if we come back I will definitely book with him again! 10/10 would recommend

Melody S.
Yaretzi, thank you very much for your great review! Spending the day with such a wonderful group of young people and students like you made me feel younger myself! We explored Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, took a cruise down the Sumida River to the beautiful Hamarikyu Japanese Garden, admired the famous Ghibli Clock, enjoyed an incredibly delicious gyoza lunch, shopped for vintage clothes in Shimokitazawa, and hunted for anime merchandise in Nakano! What an incredibly fun day, experiencing both traditional Japanese history and modern pop culture! I'm sure the rest of your journey through Japan will be filled with even more exciting adventures and unforgettable memories. Until we meet again! Arigato ; )

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!
