Get off the tourist trail

Any traveler with access to a guidebook will find it easy to move between top attractions, from the Imperial Palace and ancient shrines to the glitzy Ginza district. But with a Tokyoite host taking the reins on your Tokyo walking tours, you might want to move off the well-trodden tourist trail instead. Our walking tours in Tokyo show you the city’s quirky underbelly that few travelers ever get to discover. Why not walk down narrow paths lined with popular hangouts and holes-in-the-wall to see how locals spend their time? The must-sees are unmissable, but so is Tokyo through a local lens!

Tokyo tailored to you

Our local hosts plan the best walking tours of top Tokyo neighborhoods, from Shibuya to Harajuku, because we tailor every experience to you. Before planning your Tokyo walking tours, our local hosts learn a little about you and your interests, then plot a flexible path that highlights everything they know you’ll love. Tokyo walking tours truly have something for everyone, from history buffs and culture aficionados to foodies and tech-heads. Are you ready to fall in love with Tokyo? Just tell us what you want to see and do, and we’ll make your ultimate walking tours of Tokyo a reality.

A taste of Tokyo

At City Unscripted, we offer a range of experiences, from neighborhood discoveries to full-day tours, but few are more mind-blowing than our walking food tours in Tokyo. The city may have more Michelin stars than any other in the world, but it’s the unpretentious eating spots that make Tokyo walking tours so incredible. On-the-go eating has never been this phenomenal. You could sample spectacular street food at a traditional market, grab a convenience store bento box, then wash it all down with a drink at a standing bar to keep your walking food tours in Tokyo moving.

Seiichi was very friendly and attentive to what we wanted to see. He got in touch with us before the tour and ask about the experiences we were looking for and the laid out an itinerary for us. He made changes on the fly based on conversations with us. He also made recommendations for places to see and do the next tune we have more time to explore. I would highly recommend Seiichi as a local tour guide.
