“Sapporo ski tour”
I highly recommend Kumiko and this tour. I took this tour with my 16 year old son. Neither of us had been skiing before, so it was a new experience for both of us. We had a great day, the weather was perfect and the experience was fun. Kumiko was very friendly, very patient and a very good instructor. As we were total novices this was very important. Being an instructor and a skier for many years, I am sure that the tour would also be good for more accomplished skiers. I would recommend this tour with Kumiko, especially if you have never tried skiing before.

And I wish we could have more time for you to enjoy skiing in the beautiful snowy mountain, and I remembered your son's charming smile at the station tell me see me again someday , which made my day ! All the best Kumiko in Hokkaido

“Learnt many new things about Hokkaido! Kumiko san's tour was so informative and fun :)”
We first went to the Former Hokkaido Government Office Building Museum and learnt about the history of Hokkaido, then to the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium and to the Olympic Museum. Kumiko san is a skier herself so was able to give us very customized tour in the facility in accordance with our interests. We then drove to the Fish market and had lunch at Kumiko san's favorite Ramen Restaurant. After that, we changed our original plan and chose to go to the Hokkaido Shine instead of the Sapporo Beer Museum. Everything was so flexible and she was able to accommodate to all our questions and requests on the spot. Thank you again for the wonderful tour! I am sure we will come back to you for more team offsite activities in the future. Take care!
Kumiko N.

The tour was also so much fun for me because that was very rare opportunity to welcome you on the business trip and talk about the work of your field . And I am so impressed you remember all the places we went and also appreciate you all were very sincere and positive to see and enjoy our Sapporo city .Also Hope see you again in the future, to see the Deeper Hokkaido ! Warmest regards Kumiko

“Wonderful Hokkaido & Sapporo food & cultural tour!”
Kumiko san was amazing! She curated a cultural day tour that dug deeper into Hokkaido and the Ainu people's history and included some wonderful discoveries. We shared a fabulously sunny Sapporo day visiting the historic village, natural history museum and sake museum then discovered a truly unique farm gate restaurant and ceramics workshop on the outskirts of Sapporo. Lots of discoveries, fun and laughs. Great company, excellent food and sake! An absolute pleasure to spend time with Kumiko san. Her hospitality, knowledge and warmth was a joy to share!
Kumiko N.
