    Your Journey With City Unscripted

    Step Into the Shoes of a Guest & See How It Works

    Meet Alex & Taylor, a couple visiting Tokyo for the first time. They want to experience the city beyond the tourist spots but don’t know where to start.

    They Choose the Perfect Experience for Them

    While browsing experiences in Tokyo, Alex & Taylor choose a Flexible Half-Day Experience—a perfect way to explore without being tied to a rigid schedule, with plenty of opportunities to cover all their interests.

    They Share Their Interests

    After booking, they fill out a short questionnaire. They mention loving local food, hidden streets, and getting insider recommendations from a local. They also note that they’d like to end the experience at a great hidden izakaya.

    They Meet Their Host Before the Experience Begins

    A few days later, Yuki, their host, messages them with a tailored plan—starting at a nostalgic kissaten in Yanaka, strolling through hidden artisan alleys, and finishing with yakitori and drinks at a tucked-away izakaya. They exchange messages and fine-tune the details together.

    They Arrive & Have a Day They’ll Never Forget

    When they meet Yuki, she already has a plan, but she keeps it flexible. When Alex & Taylor spot a cozy street food stall serving fresh taiyaki along the way, they make a spontaneous stop. The experience flows naturally—just like exploring with a friend.
