“Asad is an excellent guide and human being!!”
My husband and I had a wonderful experience today with our guide Asad. Since Asad is an educator of history and social studies; he offers very detailed insight; and has great knowledge. Asad customized our tour based on our needs. He even came with us to the train station to make sure we got on the correct train and track number. If you are coming to Sapporo; you should definitely book a tour with Asad; you will not be disappointed!!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and very generous review. It was truly a pleasure guiding you & your husband around Sapporo. I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the historical insights I shared. I’m especially glad that the customized plan worked well for you both. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to me. I hope the rest of your time in Japan is filled with wonderful memories. If you ever return to Hokkaido, it would be an honor to guide you again.

“A Spiritual visit in Sapporo ”
Our time with Yumi was very educational. Yumi met us in a very modern comfortable car. We visited the Butsugamji Temple with a sleeping gold Buddha set in a beautiful japanese garden setting. The Hill of the Buddha. Stonehenge and the Easter island Statues. A quiet serene place. Next was a visit to the Hitsujigaoka observatory where we saw sheep, the only ones on our 4 week trip. Lunch was at a delicious restaurant. Yumi spoke very good English for us and it shows she loves guiding tourists and is also a very good photographer. Thank you Yumi for a lovely day.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly enjoyed guiding you and your husband — you are such a lovely and kind couple. I’m also grateful for the thoughtful gifts, especially the honey hand cream! Please come and visit Hokkaido again — it would be my pleasure to guide you once more. Thank you, Yumi

“A wonderful day with a great guide. Highly Recommended.”
Unsure of what to do on our very first day ever in Japan, I booked a tour with Asad, and we couldn’t be happier. As we were initially unsure of how to navigate public transport, we had arranged for Asad to pick us up from the cruise terminal in Muroran for an additional charge. (We're travelling by cruise ship.) Communication was clear and he was waiting for us at the designated time. We put ourselves completely in his hands and he took us to a variety of sites where I happily paid the modest admission fees for my wife and I and also Asad. Asad paid for all road tolls and parking fees. As I don't eat seafood, Asad had sought another restaurant which had good reviews. Whilst we were more than happy with lunch, Asad didn’t feel the meal was up to standard so he paid for lunch. The original plan was that Asad would take us to a railway station at the end of the day so we could make our way back to the ship. However he kindly offered to drive us the hour and a half back and refused to accept any additional payment. His friendly easygoing manner and willingness to adapt and customise the tour for our needs meant we had a fantastic day. His English is excellent and as an expat living in Japan, he brings a different perspective. The tour was worth every penny and I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review. It was truly a pleasure meeting you both and being part of your very first day in Japan. I’m very happy to know that you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable throughout the day. TBH, the best part was listening to your jokes. Thank you for your flexibility and cheerful attitude—it made the whole day enjoyable for me as well. I hope the rest of your cruise and time in Japan goes smoothly, and that you take home wonderful memories from Hokkaido. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you ever visit again—it would be a pleasure to show you more of this beautiful region.
