Hi there! I'm Patrick, a local host in Tokyo. With my deep love for Japanese culture, history, and cuisine, I'm the perfect person to guide you through all the must-see sights and hidden gems in the city. I know the city like the back of my hand, especially areas like Yanaka, Sendagi, Asakusa, Ginza, Omotesando, and Yoyogi. There's always something new to discover in Tokyo, from the rich cultural heritage to the delicious food and drink. I love taking walks along the small streets and discovering hidden stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. I'm also a history buff and love sharing my knowledge of the local culture and history with others. I have a real passion for Sake and love finding the best quality food and drink to recommend to my guests. If you have a specific request, I'm more than happy to do some research and take you off the beaten path. I'm a friendly and knowledgeable local host who will help you make the most of your time in Tokyo. I can't wait to show you all the amazing things this city has to offer.

This was a great way to experience Tokyo when we had limited time and wanted to ensure we hit a proper structured taste of this iconic system We were introduced to Patrick as our guide in advance of our travels and once we had exchanged numbers he was very communicative and helped us out with some more general Japan queries prior to our trip. We were only in Tokyo for a day and a half so opted to take 2 separate 3 hour tours. The first was in the early evening immediately after our arrival. We had come from Osaka so no jet leg issues and we were met at our hotel reception in Shinkuja so we could immediately commence our explore of the lively scenes in Shinjuka and Shibuya as day turned to night. We had been in dialogue beforehand and completed the questionnaire around the sorts of things we were interested in so the tour could be tailored to our particular needs which was very effective. Patrick was full of insights and took us to quirky streets off the beaten path as well as the touristy must sees. A brilliant intro to the city. We bade him farewell as the first tour concluded and we had our own time to continue to enjoy the Japanese nightlife We reconvened the following morning with simple instructions on how to travel to meet him on the other side of the city in Yanaka. Public transport was fantastic. We then commenced part 2 with really interesting insights to the history, culture, religions, architecture and food of this fascinating country as we visited shrines and temples, open spaces and some of the must see tourist spots in Asakusa Patrick was great company and I would recommend him and City Unscripted to other travellers visiting without hesitation
