Hokkaido Private Tour Guides

“Highly recommended”

Our tour with Asad was one of the biggest highlights of our trip to Hokkaido, he was very knowledgeable, professional, and also a lot of fun. He customized our trip and gave lots of recommendations for hidden gems and spots popular with locals. Thoughtful touches like extra water bottles and a made this a day with lots of great memories. Would definitely book again, highly recommended.

Thank you Seth. It was fun having you and Orlando. Lots of talking and jokes. And the best part was those ironies and sarcasm. It made the whole drive easy. Thank you and I hope to see you again; here or the states.

“Wonderful experience, highly recommended!”

Kumiko is friendly, knowledgeable, and is a pleasure to hang out with! The tour is well-structured, and she offers great explanations and shares interesting bits of knowledge along the way. Kumiko speaks fluent English and our conversations were very engaging and insightful. We really enjoyed learning about the Ainu, seeing the beautiful Hokkaido nature, and to top it off, the wagyu beef restaurant she chose had some of the best food we have ever tried!

Wao thank you for the wonderful review for our tour . I also enjoyed with you all talking about so many topics from literatures , history and music . The first thing I got so impressed was how much you know about Japanese books and the essence of the stories , which made me think of reading his masterpieces again . I really appreciate your all polite and respectful attitude for both local people and our culture. Thank you again for making me happy to have the precious opportunity to share the time with you all !! Warmest regards Kumiko

“Amazing Natural Splendor ”

Kumiko arrived on time and we began our trip to Lake Shikotsu. The scenery was very nice on the way up, however the lake was gorgeous. Walking around with Kumiko I appreciated her knowledge of the area as a local. We had a delicious kokanee salmon lunch at a very local place where kids were fishing and catching fish right in front of us. It brought back good memories of my childhood. My visit to the local Onsen was a unique treat, again, extremely authentic and local in a unique outdoor setting. We ended the day with a visit to the Sapporo Ainu cultural promotion center, an interest of mine since arriving to Hokkaido. The cultural museum is so well done! They encourage touching and hands-on exploration of many exhibits, making it a wonderful interactive experience. Kumiko is so fun to be with. She takes joy in sharing her love of all things Hokkaido and her history that has encouraged her to take on the tour guide/teacher role. Highly recommend her!

Dear Pamela San Thank you for your kind review for the each tour And I am sorry my reply for the first one was sent in the middle of the writing because accidentally I pressed the button. I am so impressed you remember all destinations we visited during the tours in details , which makes me so happy. The second day was like our happy holiday to enjoy the beautiful lakeside and just relax in the Pure nature. You seemed to blend into the fantastic Hokkaido landscape so naturally,as if absorbing its natural power. It reminded me somehow of your hometown,Colorado,and it gave me a very special feeling(^^). Sharing amazing scenery and experience in the local hot spring with the finest quality, I think we could make the best memories together! Thank you again for your generousity and kindness to make me relax and positive all the time . And please remember the taste of Hokkaido scallops and surf clam of your favorite! With many thanks Kumiko
