We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Selda and saw so much of the city that we would not have been able to do without a guide. She also helped us to understand the ancient traditions and culture as well as the local crafts. A fabulous tour.

Cici is an outstanding Kyoto guide for English-speaking visitors to the historic city. She picked us up at our designated starting point and we headed off on our adventure. She helped us navigate Kyoto's public transportation to get to all our destinations. She had a plan for us on the sights to see, but we asked about a few others that we wanted to add and she quickly put together an itinerary that worked great. She's a really friendly, pleasant person to spend time with and I could not recommend her more highly. She really helped make our trip to Kyoto special.

Kyoto was incredible, and having Nisa as our guide made the day even more special! She knew all the best spots and shared so much about the history and culture that it really brought the city to life. Her pacing was perfect—relaxed but still full of adventure—and she made sure everything felt effortless for us. What I loved most was how Nisa’s passion for Kyoto shone through in every part of the day. She made the experience fun, meaningful, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Kyoto, Nisa is the guide you want by your side!

Japan is a land of contrasts, its drastically different cities each with a reputation that precedes it and a list of things to do that would take years to tick-off. Take Hiroshima, whose tragic past to this day remains a dark cloud that often overshadows its true character: a thriving cosmopolitan community of trendy coffee shops, crowded stores, and friendly locals. Kyoto’s wood-built streets, traditional dining, and lantern-lit geishas, on the other hand, are perfectly preserved pictures of old Japan – but its late-night karaoke bars and 100-yen sushi restaurants are equally exhilarating. Then there’s Tokyo and Osaka, both ultra-modern metropolises of neon-lit skyscrapers and high-octane entertainment. Even here, countless opportunities to connect with Japan’s traditional culture abound, from ancient shrines and temples to sumo stadiums. The common thread that runs through the country is the magical marriage of traditional and high-tech, centuries-old and contemporary, old and new.
Whether you have a full day, half a day, or just three hours, our personalized city tours of Japan are the perfect way to appreciate the country’s spirit and soul. Japan is famous for neon-lit urban jungles and high-octane entertainment, but even in its most modern cities, opportunities to connect with traditional culture abound. Led by a local guide who’s already uncovered every inch of their city, private tours in Japan let you discover the hidden gems your guidebook doesn’t even know about. On tours of Japan, experience this land of contrasts where incredible places congregate, and the traditional and high-tech are effortlessly married. From crowded sidewalks and flashing signs in futuristic Osaka to the lantern-lit streets of magical Kyoto, a private walking tour will paint a nuanced picture of Japan’s diverse cities and their personalities. The country is brimming with world-famous attractions, but some of the best experiences and things to do in Japan are the simple pastimes of the people who call it home. On a private tour with City Unscripted, you won’t get caught in a tourist trap – simply tell us what your dream local tour of Japan looks like, and we’ll make it happen.
