Hello, I'm Ayaka.
Discover more about meI was born and raised in Fukuoka Japan, and have been working in Tokyo for the past 3 years. One of my greatest joys in Tokyo is strolling through its historical sites, such as Asakusa, Kaminarimon, Higashi Hongan-ji and Meiji Jingu Temple.

Patrick knew his stuff and crafted an excellent day for us. He was flexible and tuned in to the sort of thing we enjoyed.
Show moreOur tour with Patrick exceeded our expectations. Rather than hit tourist traps, we wandered through neighborhoods, shrines, parks, cemeteries and even a market. It was delightful and authentic. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared pieces of history along the way. Patrick was kind and patient. He helped us understand the complicated train process and taught us basic navigation skills that assisted us throughout our trip. I highly recommend the private Tokyo tour if you want to experience things at your own pace and off the beaten path. Thanks!
Show moreThis 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

I booked a 4 hour walk with Alberto. It was a wet day when the time came but Alberto didn't let that stop the show. Alberto has lived in Japan for decades, he is essentially a local, his interest in the history of Tokyo is obvious and I was a beneficiary. Alberto is easy to get along with and a caring person, I felt like I was walking with an old friend. Alberto subtlety took time to get know my interests and used this to make the experience interesting for me. At the conclusion he mad sure I didn't board the wrong train and helped me navigate my through the construction chaos, thankyou Alberto! I highly recommend.

Show moreOur knowledgeable tour guide Momoko took great care to explain and ensure we were safe and comfortable and gave us a good insight into culture of Japan. There was a lot of walking involved and we used the trains to get around but it was an efficient way to see everything. We ended the tour with a beautiful lunch near Tokyo station building which did not disappoint. Thank you to Momoko for taking such good care of us and giving us our first introduction to Japan.

Steven is a fun guy. We went to a really cool same bar and learned quite a bit about this Japanese rice wine. Then Steven treated us to a fantastic dinner at a local spot. We tried many dishes and each was great. Steven is a n interesting guy who did everything possible to show us a great time.
Show moreWe enjoyed Steven’s company and his wide knowledge of Japanese food and culture. The restaurants he took us to were hidden gems we never would have found on our own.
Show moreHad a great time with Steven, our guide for a late afternoon stroll, in Tokyo. I was traveling with elderly parents and it was super helpful to be shown around at an easy pace. It's unlikely we would've seen as much on our own. Cherry on top was Steven helping us navigate Shinjuku station to get our train tickets for the following day and then calling up an izakaya we were visiting later to explain a few dietary restrictions!
Show moreFrom the beginning, we had great communication with Steven our guide. He was very personable and we chatted like old friends over a meal. the food was great & Steven took the time to explain the foods & what region they were from and Japanese customs . Highly recommended
