Heide K.
“Bobby is Exceptionally Amazing”
Bobby was very responsive with contact prior to our tour and meet us at the cruise port promptly as promised. She took us on an incredible walking tour, showing us some of the best highlights. She was very flexible in planning our day to match our interests. Bobby even purchased tickets for the places we visited prior to our arrival so we could avoid long lines and waiting, making every moment of our time together pleasant. Her English is very clear and easy to understand. She has so much knowledge about Hakodate that she easily answered all of questions. We had 5 ports during our 10 day cruise and we ranked this tour #1. If you are visiting Hakodate and Bobby is available you should consider yourself Lucky. We strongly suggest you book her services if you want to explore this city as a local and not a tourist. Thank you again Bobby for the most Amazing Day!

Thank you so much for the amazing review Heide! It’s way beyond my expectations and you truly made my day!! Your family was so warm and full of wonderful smiles, and it became a truly unforgettable and special time for me too. I'm so grateful that you were looking forward to coming to Japan. Thanks to that, I had the chance to meet all of you. I feel deeply honored and happy to have been a part of those memories. I look forward to the day we meet again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

“Cherry Blossom Delight”
Once again, another special thank you to Tomohiko for another memorable day. We were very lucky to have Tomohiko guiding us for two days, one day in Aomori and today in Hakodate. Upon booking my tours many months ago, I had great communication with Tomohiko regarding our bookings. This morning, Tomohiko once again met us at the cruise port and off we went for another great day of seeing the beauty of Japan during cherry blossom season. Like I mentioned in another review, Tomohiko is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring guide, who was always willing to answer questions and provide us with the local history. Tomohiko provided a unique prospective of Hakodate’s history and lifestyle. Arriving in late April, we were truly lucky to experience the cherry blossoms. The view from the Goryōkaku Tower of the fort below was incredible as the cherry trees were in full bloom. Our visit Saruyama Hotsprings to see the monkeys lounging around in the hot spring on a cold cloudy day was entertaining to say the least. Our drive to the top of Mount Hakodate gave an interesting prospective (view) of the city. After a short stop at the Russian Orthodox Church, and Tomohiko telling the history of the Russians in Hakodate, which dated back to around the 1850’s, it was interesting to learn there still is a small Russian presence in the city. Besides a short shopping stop, we ended the day at a local Ramen restaurant. This was definitely a great culinary treat! Based upon this restaurant’s reputation, this is place you would most likely never find or think about going into as a tourist. A must stop if you’re hungry for Japanese style noodles. Listen to Tomohiko’s lunch suggestion. Like yesterday, this day was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Tomohiko.
