Hakodate Tour Reviews
Chris M.
“Wonderful Hakodate Experience!”
Our tour Bobby in Hakodate were nothing short of wonderful. From the very first interaction, she exuded warmth, attentiveness, and care; sending detailed weather updates, restaurant confirmations, and thoughtful reminders that made us feel instantly at ease. She went above and beyond in every way, from coordinating our Uni Murakami reservation to offering flexible plans that matched the weather and our pace. It felt less like traveling with a guide, and more like exploring Hakodate with a dear friend who genuinely wanted us to experience the best of her city.

Bobby S.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Reading it truly touched my heart. I was quite worried about the sudden cold weather, but spending time with you both truly warmed my heart, and your smiles are something I will always treasure. Thank you as well for your kindness toward my daughter! You definitely made her day. You’ve visited Japan many times, and there is nothing that makes me happier than knowing you enjoyed your time here again. Your love and respect for Japan mean so much, and the time we shared was truly meaningful and an honor for me as a Japanese. It’s still very cold, but I hope the rest of your trip is filled with wonderful moments. And please do reach out again whenever you come back to Hakodate. I’ll also look forward to seeing more of your beautifully professional-level photo collection! Bobby

“Wonderful day in Hokodate”
Tomo was a wonderful guide: lots of interesting history and general knowledge of Hokodate. The mtn with the Gondola had incredible views of the entire city and sea. We even had fall colors. After that we went to a traditional tea house and then a local ramen restaurant: excellent. Tomo did a wonderful job of adjusting the time and plans to our interests. He made sure we had a memorable visit.

Dear Robert Judge. I am very honored to have an excellent review about my Hakdate-guide from you. It seems that you are now on way back to USA after voyage. Did you enjoy Japan tour ? ! Now in Aomori, Fuji Apple harvest is in highlight. We can enjoy picking apples up from August to November. Please come to visit Japan and Aomori again. Thanks so much for joining my tour again. Best regards, Tomohiko Kudo. Share this review

“Excellent guide in Hakodate”
Couldn’t have asked for more from our expert guide, Bobby, in Hakodate. She timed the tour and the places visited perfectly. Her English and historical knowledge were exceptional. She is a hometown girl and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Bobby S.
Dear Barbara, Thank you so much for your prompt and wonderful review! Even though it was a chilly day, I truly enjoyed spending time with you both surrounded by the beautiful autumn leaves. Thank you also for your kind thoughtfulness toward my daughter. I wish I could show you her delighted face when she received your lovely surprise! It was such an honor to share your very first moments in Hokkaido together. Please do come visit again. I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you! Bobby
