“El Tour con Fumi simplemente increíble ”

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble con Fumi. Fue increíblemente amable, muy interesante y logró que el día pasara volando. El tour valió completamente la pena: no solo aprendimos mucho sobre la historia de los lugares que visitamos, sino también sobre la vida cotidiana de los japoneses. ¡La recomendamos muchísimo!

“Kumiko for the win!”

We booked Kumiko for sightseeing in Sapporo by driving and she was fantastic! I read somewhere that their local soy sauce brewery offered free tours but was unable to book it myself (their online website did not offer it and I was certainly not confident enough in my Japanese to call them to book). We are big foodies and Kumiko was able to secure this tour for us with advanced notice, it was so fun and interesting and we were able to buy some of their Hokkaido exclusive products in the end, great souvenirs/ gifts. After that she took us to a few iconic Sapporo landmarks: former government buildings for a little history lesson, the fresh seafood market where we purchased an entire Alaskan king crab and them cook it for us for lunch (splurged but yolo!), Okurayama jumping stadium where we took a ski lift ride up to the top for the city view and had ice cream, and Hokkaido Shrine to wrap up. The subway system in Sapporo isn't as extensive as it is in Tokyo so getting to see all of these places in 1 day would have been difficult without a car. Kumiko's 4 seater was new and spacious, the 3 of us being on the taller side did not feel cramped at all. Oh, I also must mention how much I appreciated Kumiko for being so flexible, my brother's flight got delayed so he had to miss the first item on our itinerary but Kumiko kindly offered to scoop him up at the train station when he arrived so he was able to join us for the rest of the day, that was so helpful! If it wasn't obvious by now, Kumiko is kind, attentive, flexible, speaks English well, and just a sweet person, exactly like she seems in her profile picture. I'm glad we booked her, thank you Kumiko!

“So knowledgeable!”

A wonderful day, so much knowledge, we glided through the day, very efficient planning, transferring between sites Fumi was happy to flex and also guided us as to what would be busiest when so we got the best experience everywhere, we had a ramen lunch but she offered lots of options to suit our tastes and had clearly thought about the day. Fumi answered all our questions, clearly loves her job, she moved along just at the right pace, well prepared with background information not just about the sites we were visiting but the history of Japan too. We thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Thank you so much for a wounderful review. I am glad you enjoyed the tour. I had a pleasant time with you. I hope you will have more nice memories in Kyoto. I found some Kimono's shops in Kyoto, if you have time you can visit there. ( Antiques Kimono Lily Kyoto ) (Vintage Kimono AN Gion ) These two shops looks having a lot of choises. Thank you again!!
