Hands-on Yakisugi Experience — The Beauty of Burnt Wood
Experience Yakisugi, the traditional Japanese technique of preserving wood by fire. Using locally sourced wood (mainly Japanese larch), you’ll craft a small, lightweight card stand by burning, brushing, and oiling it. Guided by me and a skilled carpenter, no experience is needed — all tools and protective gear, including overalls and gloves, are provided. Walking pick-up is available; streetcar fare is extra. Take home your handmade card stand, a perfect souvenir of authentic craftsmanship.

Dear Susi, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means a lot to me, especially when you’re busy traveling. The breakfast we had together at the Morning Market was extra delicious!

“One of the best tours ever!!”
Bobby was an incredible guide. She answered all of our questions, took us to very interesting places, and has a great sense of humor. She has a great personality that makes a tour as long as ours very enjoyable. Thanks to Bobby for a GREAT DAY! If looking for a tour in Hakodate choose Bobby.

Dear Gigi and everyone, Thank you for choosing me and for giving me such a wonderful day! Our full-day walking tour was quite a workout, but the time flew by so quickly with all of you! Getting to know your warm and lovely personalities made it such a special day for me, too. The gelato we shared tasted extra delicious! And hearing so many “wows” throughout the day made me genuinely happy as your guide. I hope the rest of your journey is filled with even more wonderful experiences and lots of “wows”! Your friend, Bobby

“Excellent tour to complete our Circle of Japan”
Tomohiko met us at the port as he has during our two previous tours that he excellently guided. We enjoyed many aspects of Hakodate. The fish market and wonderful melons that Hakodate is known to produce was very busy with locals enjoying a nice day. Of course a trip up to Mt. Hakodate can't be missed and it provided a spectacular view of the city and our ship below. We visited a museum where vintage kimonos where displayed which shows the skill and unique hand stitching. Tomo has been a exceptional guide and would recommend him for future tours if visiting Hakodate or Aomori.
