About Tour Guide Melody S.

*Note: March and April are almost fully booked with daytime tours. Even if a date cannot be selected on the calendar, I may still be able to offer cherry blossom viewing tours with a professional photographer (very popular!) , short night tours, bar-hopping tours, or maid cafe tours. If you are interested in any of these, please feel free to send me a message. During the tour, I can also give travel advice and help you plan for other days of your trip, so it can be a very valuable experience.

【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.
