Know before you book

  • After booking, you’ll receive a short online questionnaire to share your interests. Your City Unscripted host will get in touch to plan a custom itinerary. This is a walking experience; public transport or taxis may be used, with costs discussed after booking.

What you can expect

Explore Nara beyond the well-trodden paths on a private walking experience customised to your interests. After booking, you’ll receive a short online questionnaire to help us match you with a local host who reflects your pace, interests, and travel style.

Wander through the preserved streets of Naramachi or pause in a quiet garden just steps from the main temple routes. Your host may guide you to a traditional tea house, introduce you to local artisans, or uncover hidden shrines—offering a contemplative, culturally rich experience shaped by your curiosity.

Designed to be immersive and adaptable, this experience invites you to connect deeply with Nara’s layered traditions and tranquil atmosphere.
