“So informative, a must-see if visiting Sapporo!”

I had a wonderful time with Scott learning about the Ainu people, he is incredibly informative and puts a lot of passion into his work. He even quizzes you and keeps you involved while offering insights on the lives of the Indigenous Ainu. After feeding the mind, he takes you to feed the soul (and your belly) at an Onsen after lunch. The one we visited allowed tattoos and offered Indian food with delicious fresh nan. I will definitely want to revisit the area my next time in Hokkaido and have another hot spring experience. Would book with Scott again for sure!

“A Great Night In Sapporo!”

Ryota was an amazing guide during our bar-hopping tour through Susukino. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the entire night feel effortless. Thanks to him, we were able to connect with locals, discover great bars we never would have found on our own, and have a much more authentic experience. He was accommodating throughout the evening and made sure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Ryota if you're looking for a fun and memorable night out in Sapporo.

It was a pleasure showing you around Sapporo, and I'm so glad we could explore some local bars and create a more authentic experience together. Meeting wonderful people like you is one of the best parts of what I do. Thank you again for joining the tour and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I hope to see you again the next time you're in Sapporo. Safe travels!

“**The Best Guide in Hokkaido—Knowledgeable, Kind, and Truly Above and Beyond”

We hired Asad in July 2026 for a private tour of the Shakotan Peninsula and Otaru, and he was the best guide we have ever had. From the planning stage, he was responsive, helpful, and attentive to everything we wanted to see. He arrived on time, drove safely, and provided a clean, comfortable vehicle. He knew the area like the back of his hand, taking us to every planned stop while also recommending hidden gems, scenic viewpoints, and local places we never would have found on our own. Throughout the day, Asad focused on our comfort and made sure everything ran smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. He brought snacks and water, treated us to ice cream, and even paid for a taxi in Otaru so we would not miss our dinner reservation. At a sake distillery, he translated for us and helped us choose the best bottles. He also spoke with the host at our sushi restaurant to make sure we were well taken care of. Asad was excellent company and a great conversationalist, but he also knew when to give my wife and me space. He struck the perfect balance between guiding us and letting us enjoy Hokkaido at our own pace. Every recommendation was thoughtful and spot-on. The tour was worth every penny and became one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Asad is knowledgeable, dependable, generous, and genuinely kind. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a driver or private guide in Hokkaido, and we would absolutely hire him again.
