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.

I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido. Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature. I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.

“A wonderful guide for Hokkaido ”
We had a wonderful time with Kumiko for two days. She showed us around in Sapporo for one day and in Otaru for another day. We not only enjoyed her knowledge about both cities and Hokkaido, but also the conversation and her energetic and joyful personality. She hikes and skies too and can guide you from cities to the mountains in four seasons!

Thank you for your review! Best Kumiko
