About Tour Guide Kumiko N.

“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!

“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 for the win!”

We booked Kumiko for sightseeing in Sapporo by driving and she was fantastic! I read somewhere that their local soy sauce brewery offered free tours but was unable to book it myself (their online website did not offer it and I was certainly not confident enough in my Japanese to call them to book). We are big foodies and Kumiko was able to secure this tour for us with advanced notice, it was so fun and interesting and we were able to buy some of their Hokkaido exclusive products in the end, great souvenirs/ gifts. After that she took us to a few iconic Sapporo landmarks: former government buildings for a little history lesson, the fresh seafood market where we purchased an entire Alaskan king crab and them cook it for us for lunch (splurged but yolo!), Okurayama jumping stadium where we took a ski lift ride up to the top for the city view and had ice cream, and Hokkaido Shrine to wrap up. The subway system in Sapporo isn't as extensive as it is in Tokyo so getting to see all of these places in 1 day would have been difficult without a car. Kumiko's 4 seater was new and spacious, the 3 of us being on the taller side did not feel cramped at all. Oh, I also must mention how much I appreciated Kumiko for being so flexible, my brother's flight got delayed so he had to miss the first item on our itinerary but Kumiko kindly offered to scoop him up at the train station when he arrived so he was able to join us for the rest of the day, that was so helpful! If it wasn't obvious by now, Kumiko is kind, attentive, flexible, speaks English well, and just a sweet person, exactly like she seems in her profile picture. I'm glad we booked her, thank you Kumiko!
