“Fabulous time in Hokkaido ”

Asad was a tremendous guide. We could not have done and seen the things in Noboribetsu and Otaru without him. He went out of his way to rent a wheelchair for our mother and was very attentive to her needs. He also took us to very good restaurants for our lunches. He scheduled an itinerary based on our requests, the weather and our limitations. We will highly recommend him to our friends visiting Hokkaido in the future. We hope to see him again.

Asad J.

Thank you so much, Patrick. Your and your family were incredible nice. I hope to see you again in Hokkaido.
