Private tours tailored to you

Are you excited about tasting the best of Japanese cuisine on your Tokyo private tours, or do you see yourself exploring areas harking back to the lantern-lit, wood-built Japan of old? Maybe you want a memorable night out, or perhaps you’re content to move between temples, shrines, and traditional gardens. We believe the best private tours of Tokyo are the ones perfectly tailored to suit you and your interests. That’s why every experience with City Unscripted is 100% personalized – whatever you want to see or do, our local guides will make it happen. Your private Tokyo tours; your choice!

Choose among dynamic districts

As the biggest city in the world, Tokyo’s sprawling metropolis is packed with unique neighborhoods. Some are iconic in their own right (glitzy Ginza, electrifying Shibuya), and others are a little off-the-beaten-path (creative Koenji, trendy Sangenjaya). Private guided tours of Tokyo are the easiest way to get to grips with the distinct personalities of each diverse district – and find the areas that suit you best. Whether you travel back in time in historic Kawagoe or get lost among vintage threads in retro Shimokitazawa, we’ll plan your Tokyo private tours in the districts you’ll love.
