“Highly recommended”
Custom Tour for Biei and Furano was the best decision and high point of our family vacation in Sapporo. We thoroughly enjoyed our custom tour with Asad and I am would reach out to Asad again on my next tour. He is punctual, knowledgeable and accommodative for family requests which can be unexpected at times. In our case we had to make stops for medicine as kids we not keeping too well. Asad knows the area well and took us to the right pharmacy and interacted with the pharmacist in Japanese to get us the right medicine which helped a smoother trip throughout the day. He planned the trip around our dietary requirements and made adjustments on the fly to accommodate deviations. We did not feel rushed at any of our spots and had more than sufficient time to carry out the activities we wanted to do. I highly recommend Asad to anyone looking for a custom tour of the region.

“An Unforgettable Experience ”
We booked a private tour of Otaru and Cape Kamui with Asad and his hospitality was truly second to none. From the initial planning stages to the final drop-off, Asad was punctual, deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. What we appreciated most was his flexibility. We were able to adjust our itinerary to add a glass bead making class which was a fun experience. Asad handled booking the class for us, and we really appreciated that! He also handled all the local navigation and logistics perfectly, leaving us completely stress-free. He’s also an amazing photographer! We got lots of our best photos from our trip during our day with him. Asad is a true example of an excellent guide, and we will definitely book with them again. :)

Thank you Seth. It was fun having you and Orlando. Lots of talking and jokes. And the best part was those ironies and sarcasm. It made the whole drive easy. Thank you and I hope to see you again; here or the states.

Aya N.
Hi! I'm Aya, now based in the Sapporo area from June 2026! After growing up in Hokkaido, I graduated from university in New York and have lived in 7 cities across Japan, Canada, and the United States. Exploring the world allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds while sharing Japan through both a local and international perspective. I've also traveled Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and Latin America, and love learning about history, different story of local people. <My Hosting Style> As a global citizen, I love sharing the side of Japan that many visitors never get to see, from local culture and everyday life to hidden food spots and the stories behind them. Whether you are interested in food, nature, culture, art, music, or simply experiencing Japan from a local perspective, I tailor each experience to your interests, mood, personality, and travel style. <My Experience> Over the years, I have guided amazing guests from east to west, in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and now Hokkaido. I enjoy hosting culturally curious travelers who seek meaningful experiences, authentic local connections, and a deeper understanding of Japan beyond the typical tourist route. My guests often tell me that spending time with me feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend, and many ask me to guide them again on their next journey through Japan. I look forward to hearing from you and helping create a memorable experience in Japan :) P.S. I've lived in Vancouver Canada, Upstate New York, New York City, Tokyo, Osaka, and now the Sapporo area in Hokkaido!
