Great Experience in Yoichi/Otaru

Kumiko was wonderful and a delightful person. She knew the historical and day-to-day reality of the area. She was very responsive in adjusting the tour to our requests and managed to get reservations that we had tried for fo months. As a long term resident of Hokkaido, we highly recommend her.

Hope you two stay always healthy and happy , with many thanks. Kumiko

A delightful guide from Sapporo

Kumiko - GoWithGuide Kumiko was an outstanding guide. We discussed the places that we wanted to visit and what was possible with our two schedules. We quickly agreed on a plan. I wanted to go to two museums on the industrial heritage of Hokkaido. Kumiko had been to either and, on her own initiative, contacted both of them in advance. Because of her efforts we received a warm welcome at both museums. She facilitated communications with museum staff by translating for us. Kumiko was a delight to be with. She answered our many questions about Japanese culture and we felt like we got to know her by the end of our trip. We highly recommend Kumiko as a guide in Hokkaido!
