About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- D6393FOnicolep0 contributionsA Day in TokyoHiroko met us at the Yokohama cruise terminal. We only had one day before flying home and asked that we see some highlights. We used a taxi to drive around Yokohama before boarding a train to Tokyo. We saw the beautiful Tokyo station dome. Upon exiting the station, there was a formal procession in front of the Tokyo station hotel where the South Korean ambassador was arriving. How exciting. As this was a Monday, the Imperial Palace was closed. We went to Nakamise-Dori Street where traditional souvenirs and snacks are sold. This is the main entrance to the beautiful Sensoji Temple. We asked Hiroko to take us to a traditional Japanese restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. The menus have pictures and in English. This whole area was entertaining and gave us a glimpse of the Japanese culture. We returned to Yokohama by train. We were impressed by the cleanliness of everything. The Japanese people are very polite and well mannered. What a good example for the world. Being that we only had six hours, Hiroko made the most of this short time. She was very friendly, informative and we would highly recommend her services.Written November 2, 2024
- dpowell34780 contributionsExceptional tour in Tokyo.Our guide Hiroko was exceptional! She was patient, kind, and professionally addressed our questions during our tour. I fell sick during my tour and her compassion and quick response addressing my needs was comforting. Do not think twice about scheduling a tour with her. Hiroko was the best tour guide I have ever experienced!Written September 24, 2024
- maddylee730 contributionsMemory of a lifetime madeThis was an unforgettable trip that I will forever treasure! Estela was the best tour guide and made sure I got to do everything on my bucket list and more! While in Japan, I wanted to see as much as I could and even just get comfortable using the train and finding my way places. Estela was able to not only get me comfortable doing so, she was also such a joy to spend the day with. We took the scenic route and I got to see so many things I would not have even known to look for had I been traveling by myself. Some of my favorite things that we did included going to a Japanese temple and walking around there, and also we went to an all you can eat noodle shop where the noodles slide down a bamboo shoot and you need to use chopsticks to collect the noodles before they slip past you. The entire time I was with Estela was the best time and she even went out of her way to help me find a place where I could but a kimono, it was something I wanted to do while in Japan, and she made sure I got to do it. It really was an incredible way to explore the area and it made my trip to Japan!Written September 22, 2024
- GiddyupTraveler0 contributionsBest welcome to Japan!Kenji was a terrific guide for our arrival in Japan. He helped us to get acquainted with the train system and showed us the highlights of Kamakura and Enoshima. We really enjoyed spending the day with Kenji!Written September 17, 2024

- Pathfinder7293810 contributionsWonderful 4 Hour Walking Tour of Yokohama.We had a wonderful 4 hour tour with our guide Estela covering as many of the main attractions of the city as we could driving the time we had. Thoroughly enjoyed our day- the waterfront area, the spectacular garden show going on, other gardens throughout the city, Chinatown, shopping areas and other sights we were able to get to! Enjoyed learning the history of some of the buildings and areas. Highly recommend this tour and our very sweet and awesome tour guide!Written April 22, 2024
- rondash0 contributionsA wonderful tour of Kamakura with an excellent guideYasuho planned a wonderful tour for us to Kamakura out of Yokohama. He provided interesting commentary and his English was excellent. It was fun riding around on the trains and buses to our various destinations. Yasuho advised us to buy a Suica pass for all internal Japan travel at the airport when we arrived - excellent advice - it was invaluable. He also recommended a great place for lunch for Soba noodles and Tempura.Written April 19, 2024
- BubbeFN0 contributionsPerfectly Organized TourOur tour was a wonderful introduction to Yokohama. Our guide, Mr. Hiroshi Kawano, was in contact with us prior to tour date and we planned our chosen itinerary together. The restaurant suggested for lunch was a perfect and unique taste of sashimi, sushi and more that we will remember forever! Food is a very big part of travel to different countries and our walk and tastings in the local market was perfect.Written April 14, 2024
- 699alisonp0 contributionsGreat guide to see the city!We loved seeing Yokohama with Riri. She was friendly and knowledgeable looking after our personal needs well. We highly recommend her as a guide.Written April 10, 2024
- chengweit20240 contributionsGreat tour with Hiroshi!Hiroshi is an excellent guide and we truly enjoyed our tour with him. He even introduced us to the typical Japanese comfort food, Oyakodon which we love! We walked all over Yokohama and after the time we spent with Hiroshi, we really got to know Yokohama well. Hiroshi was very kind and went out of his way to help us find the foot pads we needed for Vilma so we are forever grateful for his help and kindness. We highly recommended this tour and Hiroshi to anyone who comes to Yokohama.Written March 22, 2024

We walked and enjoyed the Cup of Noodle museum, even making our own personalized cup to take home with us. We had a lovely lunch picnic on a rooftop, visited Sankeien Gardens, saw the beautiful sunset from the port, took a subway and bus, walked 8 miles, and had a full day of sightseeing!Written November 15, 2023

A scenic view, saw some local shopping areas, the Chinatown, lunch there, and along the harbor park. She showed us how to get to Tokyo using the rapid transit, for our plans the next day. A very good tour with a knowledgeable and friendly host!Written October 30, 2023

We wanted to eat authentic Japanese food in local non tourist places and we did. Our guide Yuko contacted directly to ask what we wanted to focus on, and designed the itinerary so we went to a variety of places, including a second floor restaurant where we had grilled eel, a conveyor belt sushi place, a Chinese restaurant where we learned that gyoza are actually Chinese in origin. A satisfying, not to mention filling food tour.

Riri was an excellent tour guide who went out of her way to find good restaurants, even though one of our requests was unusual (for soup curry) and my husband is gluten intolerant. She was was easy to talk to and shared many interesting experiences with us - and her English is excellent. We had a great experience. We were just too full to eat all the food that we had planned on, so we will go back to one of the suggested restaurants later.

It was our first time on a City Unscripted tour, and in fact our very first private food tour experience. I must say it was an excellent experience, one of the best parts of our Yokohama trip.
After we booked the tour via City Unscripted, we were asked to fill in a questionnaire to indicate our preference, then a Yokohama local tour guide, Hiro, was soon assigned to contact with us. Hiro was a Japanese who spoke and wrote English very well.
Based on our preference, Hiro had drafted a plan of the food tour that suited our interest in advance of our Yokohama trip. Based on our feedback, all changes to the plan were well communicated with us beforehand.
Our City Unscripted food tour was on the first day of our 4 days Yokohama trip. During the tour, Hiro led us to enjoy some tasty Japanese food. Since it was a Yokohama local tour, Hiro also prepared some presentation slides to tell us more about the history of Yokohama. Our guide had prepared well for our tour.
Knowing that we would visit some of the tourist spots in Yokohama for the following days, Hiro was also kind enough to teach us the transportation means to the spots as well as how to purchase entrance tickets for the spots.
Our guide’s support didn’t end after the tour, Hiro continuously provided us with support throughout the rest of our trip. He stayed in contact with us, answered our questions when we need, which was very helpful.
It was a very special and excellent food tour experience. We were glad to have Hiro from City Unscripted as our guide in Yokohama.

My friend and I were so lucky to have booked this tour and had Hiroko as our guide. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We did this tour the day that we landed in Japan and she set the tone for our whole trip. She absolutely went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in our new surroundings. She made sure that we knew every day Japanese terms and spent some time teaching me the modern Japanese writing system. I definitely would book again with Hiroko and recommend her to my friends that visit the Tokyo area.

We were in Yokohama Japan for a few days before our Golden Week Cruise. Our tour guide, Chisato, was the perfect person to show my hubby and I the best parts of Yokohama in a four hour walking tour customized for us! She personalized our tour to include historical, cultural facts for my husband with wonderful food choices and tastings for me! She also pointed out places for us to see on our own the next day. Some of the locations she showed us were Hammer Head, Elephants Nose, Yamashita Park, Red Brick Warehouse and Chinatown (multiple tastings). She also managed to take us to some local places for some delicious sweets! Our tastings were specific to our food choices. Chisato was also very careful to avoid foods containing shrimp for my husband. Quite a feat in Chinatown! She navigated our experience with style and expertly worked with shopkeepers. Chisato even managed to fit in a needed last minute stop at a pharmacy for us! We highly recommend this tour with Chisato whose personality and warmth made this tour not only memorable but great use of our limited time in Yokohama!

We were completely delighted with this tour! Our guide seemed like a dear friend, warm and fun to be with. She customized the tour according to our interests, giving us a thorough view of Yokohama and the city life. We enjoyed local foods in a boisterous market setting, including fresh strawberries on a stick. We strolled the gardens and park areas, making a big circle around the waterfront area, returning to our cruise ship with fond memories of our Yokohama experience, thanks to our guide Estela!

Our guide Kenji was amazing. He asked us what we wanted to eat and we chose a food that was not on his radar. He did not miss a beat and found a place where we got a very authentic experience and great food. We followed up with a visit to a more conventional casual restaurant where we tried a variety of Japanese specialties. The quail eggs were so cute and so tasty. Kenji ordered and smoothed the way for us everywhere we went and made certain we went home with full tummies.

This was an excellent tour. Martina is an excellent guide and speaks excellent English. She has a tremendous knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. Thus, besides learning a lot about the sights in Yokohama as we walked around and talked we learned a lot about Japan. The food stops were terrific and provided excellent food and learning about the foods was a real treat. Highly recommend this tour.
