“Fantastic tour”
We had a wonderful time on our tour. We were able to custom make a tour to see the things we wanted and the guide was so lovely and knowledgeable. Definite highlights were seeing the Tancho in 2 places and also the long tailed twits. Highly recommended.

“Amazing Full Day Winter Tour!”
Reiko was the perfect guide to hire for a full day tour in Kushiro! I did my research and decided to go with Reiko because her tour was customized to what I wanted to do/see and offered experiences that bigger tours did not offer. I also liked the early start time of 5:30am to see the red crowned cranes wake up from their slumber from the Otowa bridge (something bigger tours don’t get to do). As a local, she knew spots most tourists would have never found on their own. We got to see the SL train, which only operates in January and February. It was much cooler in person than I thought it would be! I really wanted to see a fox in the wild, so when we saw one at the end of the day on the road back she even offered to back up and turn the car around so I could get a good photo! The whole day was filled with great photo ops of the nature and wildlife, which I came to Kushiro to see - red crowned cranes, Shima-enaga Hokkaido snow fairy, Ezo sika deer, Steller’s sea eagle, white-tailed eagle, Ezo red fox etc. If you are considering a tour guide, you will not be disappointed with Reiko!

“Amazing, full-experience tour ”
Reiko put in a lot of effort to help us plan an itinerary that was aligned with our interests and budget. Thanks to her, we were able to see all the sights and wildlife we wanted to see in Kushiro! She was also extremely caring and helpful, and went out of her way to ensure that we had a comfortable trip despite the cold winter.

Zhixian and his wife were both really nice and friendly guests. They might have felt cold during the tour because they are from warm country and not used to our cold whether in Kushiro, Hokkaido. But they were brave and patient for coldness. I am so happy to know they enjoyed encountering wildlife and other experiences here.
