About Tour Guide Melody S.

Hello! Welcome to my page and hopefully soon, Akihabara!

I’m a government licensed tour guide with profound knowledge of Japanese culture, history and geography. I was born in a suburb area and grew up in Tokyo. I studied abroad in the US and UK, and met great people from all over the world. I was an IT engineer and a manager of a maid cafe in Akihabara.

Although I know many spots in Tokyo, Akihabara, the very special Otaku mecca, is my home. I lived in Akihabara nearly 10 years to become a genuine Otaku!

Maid Cafe Tour by Former Maid Cafe Manager

Tokyo
3 hours

Tour of Akihabara including Maid Cafe

My friends and I had a tour arranged by Melody around Akihabara including a visit to a maid cafe. Melody was very friendly and knowledgeable and before the tour offered to tailor the tour to our interests. We asked to include a nearby shrine which Melody was happy to incorporate. As well as telling us about the history of the area and answering all our questions, Melody also took us to places we would not have otherwise come across on our own (such as a traditional tea house) which really shows the value of using a local guide. The maid cafe was the highlight and definately helped by having Melody along to explain the goings on and help us navigate which allowed us to enjoy it more. We had a great fun afternoon with Melody and would definately recommend to others

Thank you for your heartfelt review, Nik! I’m very happy becoming a part of your good memories in Japan. Yes, we did enjoy a lot of things during the tour in Akihabara and hope you also spent rest of the fun time in Japan. I look forward to seeing you again someday in the future.

The Perfect Tour Guide

Melody met me at my hotel (a real bonus!) and we immediately clicked. We had easy and stimulating conversation about history, culture and social norms while we explored Akihabara and that sub-culture. It was my first time in that area, and to a Maid Cafe. (My advice is to just roll with it and have fun!) Melody is very knowledgeable about the area, and was able to tailor the tour to my mood and needs. It's the little things that make a great tour, even if unplanned, like finding the perfect ginger ale near a shrine. Melody was flexible and open-minded. I highly recommend this tour, even if you're not quite 'Otaku'. :)

Ric P.

Thank you for your kind reply, Ric. Yes, we clicked immediately! I had never expected our trip ends up such a wonderful one before we actually met up. We talked about many themes and discovered so many hidden gems of Akihabara in a short time. It was an unforgettable day. I expect you will come to Tokyo and we can meet up again!

My Name is Naoya. I was born in Tokyo in 1952. After my graduation from Keio University, I joined a Japanese bank. Mainly I was assigned international business and stayed in London for three years. At the age of 52, I moved to a Japanese manufacturer company and had worked for 11 years. As a personnel manager, I engaged in hiring Indian graduates. Then for two years, I went to Tashkent in Uzbekistan as a JICA senior volunteer. I taught "corporate finance" at Tashkent Financial Institute in English. I got the guide license in 2017, After I came back to Tokyo, I am working as a volunteer guide, especially in Shinjuku. I hope to create special and deep tours in which tourists are interested but by now they were not able to gain access to. For example; Visit to various Universities, Visit to narrow streets in Tokyo, Visit to feel Edo (Now and Then) My hobby is playing the guitar. I hope we are in peace through music. I am also interested in Art, History and cooking. My major subject is economics and finance.

Hi, I'm Dai, a national licensed tour guide for people from all over the world. I’m crazy about traveling around the world. I’ve backpacked in over 150 countries. So I'm proud of my traveling skills, flexibility and patience that I've ever experienced through my world-traveling. I do believe one of the most important thing for travelers is to " EXPERIENCE ", such as doing something new, extraordinary and something you've never done before. Also, I used to work at a hostel in Asakusa, so I'm quite familiar with Asakusa area. I'd love to help international tourists enjoy their stay in Japan. You can arrange your own itinerary as you like. Please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions. I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon. Thank YOU.
