“Our Favorite Guide - Bobby Gave Us an Unforgettable Day in Hakodate!”
Bobby was the best tour guide we had during our travels! From the moment we met her, she was energetic, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable. Her friendly personality made us feel instantly comfortable, and her passion for sharing her city made the entire day special. We absolutely loved our time with her and honestly didn’t want it to end! She put together a wonderful day that was perfect for our group of five. We visited Hakodate Morning Market, explored the star-shaped Goryokaku fortress, enjoyed lunch at Shunka, and took in the views from Mount Hakodate. We also explored the Motomachi historical area and the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses. The variety gave us a wonderful introduction to Hakodate, with a mix of food, history, scenery, and time to enjoy the city. Everything was taken at our own pace, which made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Bobby was attentive to our group, and her enthusiasm and energy brought so much fun to every stop. What truly set Bobby apart was her warmth. She made us feel like welcome friends, and it was a pleasure to experience Hakodate with someone so passionate about her hometown. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Bobby, for a wonderful day and some of our favorite memories from our trip!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a warm and thoughtful review. I’m truly flattered, and honestly, I feel like I could cry happy tears! I’m so grateful that I had the chance to learn about what you were hoping for from your trip and your food preferences before we even met. It helped me create a day that was just right for your group. Thank you for trusting me with your special day in Hakodate. But more than anything, it was your warm and cheerful personalities that made our time together so special. I truly had such a wonderful time with all of you. 8 hours sounds like a long time, but it went by unbelievably quickly because we were having so much fun! Your smiles and this beautiful review are treasures to me. And knowing that the Snow Fairy souvenir, chopsticks, cards, photos, and all the little memories from your time here may bring back thoughts of Japan and Hakodate in the future makes my heart feel so warm. I hope you’ll have the chance to visit Hakodate again someday, perhaps with a little more time to stay and explore beyond the city as well. If you ever come back, I would be absolutely delighted to show you another side of Hakodate and some deeper local experiences in the surrounding area. I truly hope you have a wonderful time for the rest of your journey. Thank you so much again for giving me such a special day and such a precious memory. With warmest wishes from Hakodate, Bobby

“Walking Hakodate w Bobby”
Chose Bobby because she was so well reviewed, each member of our party found her to be helpful and pleasant. She was standing in the cruise port when we got through customs with a sign with our names on it and she was nothing but kind, helpful, and accommodating. Asked us what we wanted and needed, what we wanted for lunch. Very helpful. Very sweet. Always looking for every opportunity to make our Hakodate experience & day better. Thanks Bobby for a great day!

Thank you so much for such a warm and heartfelt review Bruce! I truly enjoyed spending the day with all of you. Your kindness, wonderful smiles, and cheerful personalities made my job so much fun too. Six hours may sound like a long time, but I was so happy to hear one of you say that the day flew by! And I’m especially grateful that you took the time to stay in touch with me and helped connect me with everyone! When winter comes and the snow starts falling, I hope you’ll think of Hakodate and remember the wonderful day we spent here together! Please give my very best to your lovely wife and son as well. I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again someday. Warmly, Bobby

“Hakodate Tour”
We had an absolutely fantastic tour in Hakodate with Moomoo Taxi! Our driver was exceptional—friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making our day memorable. He took us to all the highlights, shared interesting local insights, and made sure we were comfortable and never felt rushed. The vehicle was spotless, the driving was smooth and safe, and the entire experience was stress-free from start to finish. Thanks to his excellent recommendations and flexibility, we were able to see so much more than we could have on our own. If you're visiting Hakodate and want a reliable, enjoyable, and personalized tour, I highly recommend Moomoo Taxi. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan, and we would happily book with them again!
