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!

Tours
Akihabara Maid Cafe Lunch Tour
Let’s go to the most popular maid cafe in Akihabara. You don’t need to be shy! I’ll help you talk to maids with my experience as a maid cafe manager. And if you are lucky, you can see their dancing and singing performances. Other than the maid cafe, I can take you to the best Otaku places that fit your interests!
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!
Akihabara Maid Cafe Dinner Tour
In Akihabara, you can see hundreds of maids promoting their cafes on the maid street. However, sometimes it’s hard for the tourists to find good ones. Nervous about visiting maid cafe?! Don’t worry! I know the most entertaining maid cafes with my experience as a maid cafe manager. * This tour is including custom-made programs to suit your specific interests.

“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'. :)

(1 reviews)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!
