Does this tour work for families with young children?

Yes. It is designed as a family outing, so the pace follows your group rather than a set schedule, and there is room to pause or change direction when the kids spot something that catches their eye. Mention what your children enjoy in the questionnaire so your host can plan with them in mind.

How is our local host chosen?

City Unscripted reads your questionnaire answers and pairs you with a local whose interests line up with your family's. Your host then gets in touch before the tour to plan the outing with you and to share local recommendations.

Which places could we visit?

The sample plan includes the Nagamachi samurai district, Omicho Market, the Tsuzumi Gate at Kanazawa Station, Kenroku-en (one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan), and the Higashi Chaya district, where you can try to spot a geisha, though a sighting is never guaranteed. Your host picks the final mix based on your interests.

Are snacks and admission tickets covered?

No. Food, drinks, and tickets to attractions are not part of the price, so a croquette at Omicho Market or entry to a garden or museum is paid on the spot. Gratuities for your host are optional.
