“Profesional and corteous”

Clearly on time, picked us up as schedulled in the lobby, drove us to all locations. From the historical village, to the museum, to the Sapporo brewery as well to the Winter olympic facilities. She was able to obviate mishaps and compensate with agility a lunch place that was with a long waiting list and took us to an alternative that may have been more suitable for us as was a completely unexpected place and with excellent food. She provide information without overwelming us with data. She deserves our wholeheartedly recomendation. 3 travelers from Dayton, Ohio

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I really enjoyed spending the day with you & your family. Our conversations were so much fun, and I learned a lot about life in the U.S. and cultural differences. It was truly a wonderful driving day for me too. Please come visit Hokkaido again someday!........Yumi

“A Spiritual visit in Sapporo ”

Our time with Yumi was very educational. Yumi met us in a very modern comfortable car. We visited the Butsugamji Temple with a sleeping gold Buddha set in a beautiful japanese garden setting. The Hill of the Buddha. Stonehenge and the Easter island Statues. A quiet serene place. Next was a visit to the Hitsujigaoka observatory where we saw sheep, the only ones on our 4 week trip. Lunch was at a delicious restaurant. Yumi spoke very good English for us and it shows she loves guiding tourists and is also a very good photographer. Thank you Yumi for a lovely day.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly enjoyed guiding you and your husband — you are such a lovely and kind couple. I’m also grateful for the thoughtful gifts, especially the honey hand cream! Please come and visit Hokkaido again — it would be my pleasure to guide you once more. Thank you, Yumi
