Tamaki Y.

I was born and raised in Hokkaido and have lived in Sapporo for over 30 years. My deep interest in Hokkaido’s unique history and culture has helped me enhance my guiding skills. During tours, I share insights into the historical and cultural backgrounds of various destinations to make each visit more meaningful and engaging. I often enjoy strolling through the city and trying various local foods myself, so I can recommend dining spots tailored to your preferences. My goal is to help you discover the charm of Hokkaido and Sapporo while creating unforgettable memories of your journey.

“Excellent Tour”

Kumiko was an excellent tour guide. She came to the cruise port to pick us up and the meeting went smooth. She took us to all the places we requested, even booking our canal cruise tickets ahead of time for us. She picked a delicious seafood restaurant in Otaru and helped us order and made sure she took care of us. She was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. We enjoyed talking to her and listening to her telling us about her city. I highly recommend having Kumiko as a tour guide.

Kumiko N.

“Perfect tour of a charming city”

Our guide was amazing!! We had a wonderful full day strolling along the canal, shopping the small shops and then we saw the beautiful view from both Tenguyama and another secret view location he knew of. He was so responsive to all of our requests and went out of his way to make our day special.
