“Fantastic day with Kumiko”
Kumiko gave us a wonderful treat by sharing much about the Japanese culture and history of Hokkaido. The highlights were riding the metro with her explanations of how things worked and then going to a fresh seafood market cafe to feast on snow crab and sushi. We also loved visiting the famous shrine with Kumiko to show us what to do. She is so kind and I really enjoyed spending the day with her. We give Kumiko 5 stars.

“Lovely Day Trip!”
We had a wonderful day trip with Kumiko-San during our short visit to Hokkaido. In between our visits to Hill of Buddha and Hokkaido Museum Kumiko-San introduced us to a local farm-to-table business for lunch. This place grows their own grains and vegetables as well as makes their own pottery. We even got a bonus view of a fox hunting in the nearby farm! Kumiko-San is quite lovely and very knowledgeable about many things, highly recommend!
Kumiko N.
Dear Brenda San Thank you for your kindness and review and spending your time with this .It was my pleasure we could enjoy the tour together and see the cute wild fox at lunch time .I really appreciate that you all showed so much interest about Ainu culture and Hokkaido history at the museum, which made me so happy. Conversation was great to know about your life and hobbies in Florida. Hope you all stay healthy and happy, and can see again some day! Best Regards Kumiko
