“Tokyo autrement ”
Très belle journée en compagnie de Melody, un guide compétent qui a permis de compléter la visite guidée d’hier dans une relation cool et relax. Partage aisé entre jeunes adultes du même âge. Aucune critique pour ce premier contact avec Tokyo.

“A great time with Melody”
We had an elegant shopping tour with Melody. In addition, he is very knowledgeable about the major highlights in Tokyo city that even made our Tokyo tour more enjoyable. I fully recommend him for your tours in Japan!
Melody S.
Kevin, thank you for your heartfelt review. We really enjoyed exploring Ginza and Kappabashi with you, even within the limited time before your flight. You made some wonderful purchases, including Japanese clothes and kitchen utensils. Wishing you all the best in the future!

“A Wonderful Experience- the memories will last a lifetime ”
We had such a fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Melody. Travelling alone with a little one can be challenging, but he made everything feel easy and relaxed. He helped with the stroller, was patient and warm, and kept the whole day fun. A huge highlight was the professional photographer, Kai. He was incredibly friendly and had such a cool, effortless style (you can tell he works in fashion). He captured the most beautiful photos, ones I know I’ll cherish forever. It took all the pressure off trying to take pictures while juggling a toddler, and let me just enjoy the experience. We visited so many lovely spots; Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park, Pignic Café, Takeshita Street, the Noa purikura photo booth, Shibuya Crossing and Hachiko - and Melody also gave great suggestions for the rest of our trip. If you’re considering a “Tokyo Tour with Professional Photographer,” I can’t recommend Melody and Kai enough!! They made the day truly special.
Melody S.
Alexandra, thank you so much for your lovely review. It was truly wonderful that you chose our tour with our professional photographer, Kai — especially since the two gentlemen were able to help you with your luggage, haha! We will never forget that day, and we hope you will cherish the stunning photos along with the memories. Wishing you and your family all the very best. Arigato gozaimasu!

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!
