About Tour Guide Bobby S.

Welcome to Hakodate!


Hello! My name is Bobby, and I am an English-speaking guide based in the beautiful city of Hakodate, Japan. Born and raised here, I have a deep love and knowledge of this historic port city.


I spent 10 years living in Canada, where I worked in cafes, restaurants, and tailor shops, gaining valuable experience in hospitality and customer service. Now, I’m excited to share the charm of Hakodate with visitors from around the world.


Whether you want to explore historical sites, discover hidden local gems, or enjoy delicious Hakodate cuisine, I can provide a personalized and memorable experience. Let’s make your trip to Hakodate unforgettable!

Best guided tour we have ever done!

Everything about our tour with Bobby was amazing - from initial contact right up to saying goodbye! Bobby was able to customise an itinerary to fit in with our ship's time in port and to suit our specific requests. She is really approachable and really listened to our needs and designed a truly bespoke tour. Bobby is such a lovely lady who really loves her town of Hakodate and is keen to show all it has to offer. Way more than we could ever see on our own. We took some taxis so that we could see more and beat some of the Golden Week crowds. Bobby had already bought all tickets we needed which meant much less queueing. Always a win! Catching the cherry blossoms and seeing them from such great vantage points was a highlight. We also learnt so much about the history of the town, Japanese culture/customs and so much more. Bobby put so much time and effort into our itinerary, especially in finding places for lunch and afternoon tea that could provide gluten free alternatives - something that can be a bit tricky. We had fabulous meals! Bobby took some amazing and creative photos of us that make us smile every time we look at them. Ask her about the heart fence if you get a chance to take a tour with her. I can't speak highly enough of Bobby. She is such a personable, happy and friendly lady who made our day in Hakodate a highlight of our visit to Japan. By the end of the tour it felt like saying goodbye to a friend and we hope to explore more with her when next we visit Japan. Thank you Bobby for all that you did to make our day such a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Dear Lou, Thank you so much for spending such precious time writing such a thoughtful review for me. I truly appreciate it. Because you wrote so much detail, I know I will always be able to look back on it and vividly remember the wonderful time we spent together, no matter how much time passes! It also helped me greatly that you booked early and asked so many detailed questions beforehand. It made planning the itinerary much easier for me as well. Even though it was Golden Week, arriving a bit earlier than our meeting time helped us avoid the crowds and made the day run very smoothly. I was also genuinely happy that we were able to enjoy the cherry blossoms at their absolute peak with such beautiful weather. It was very special for me too. Regarding food allergies, I still feel Japan has a long way to go in accommodating them properly, so I was truly relieved and happy to hear that you were satisfied with the meals and tea experiences . I also love taking photos, and more than anything, it makes me happy when guests can look back on their trip and remember the time we shared together. So your words truly mean a lot to me. The itinerary we created together through all our messages and planning became such a wonderful experience, and I sincerely thank you for that as well. Please do visit again when you come back to Japan. Next time, I would love to take you a little farther and introduce you to some even more local places. I am already looking forward to the day we meet again! Your friend, Bobby
