Just finished a wonderful tour of the Shibuya and Harajuku neighborhoods with our wonderful guide, Hiroko Kitagawa. We covered a lot of ground in 3 hours. Hiroko asked us questions to tailor a tour best suited us. She then expertly weaved us through the mass of people to cover as much ground as possible. She even hopped the metro with us back to our hotel to make sure we were ok. We would highly recommend Hiroko and City Unscripted. Thank you.

Our guide, Alberto, was EXCELLENT! He showed us all around, explaining all of the interesting hidden places of the city. His knowledge was extensive and listening to him was fun. He took us to his favorite places, where no big crowds were. It was definitely worth it!

Feeling hungry? Your host will guide you to hand-picked street food stalls where you can indulge in freshly made taiyaki, Harajuku’s renowned crepes, or a comforting bowl of local ramen.

Throughout the experience, your knowledgeable host will share personal insights, fun anecdotes, and cultural stories that bring Tokyo to life. And because this is your adventure, the itinerary remains flexible—whether you want to uncover a hidden shrine, capture Instagram-worthy moments, or make an unexpected detour.

Kay was a great, very friendly Guide and he adjusted everything to My wishes. He had great knowledge about the area and could also handle spontaneous changes and still manage to go all planned checkpoints - highly recommended to get some great first impression and an overview for these very busy and challenging areas of Tokyo
