Amazing Experience!

Bobby was the perfect tour guide. She’s positive and upbeat and fun to be around. She took us to learn the traditional Japanese game called Go. It was really interesting learning about this game and the strategy used behind it! We loved learning something new. The second portion of this tour was incredible. Bobby’s husband is a carpenter and taught us a really cool technique called yakisugi wicked translates to charred wood. It’s a neat traditional way to preserve wood but also adds such a unique look to the wood. Bobby’s husband was patient with us and let us gets hands on with the burning of. The wood and the scrapping of the ash. This is a highlight from our trip! So very cool seeing and experiencing something so unique. Bobby is the best tour guide!!! So great at coordinating and very hospitable! We booked another tour with her because she’s so exceptional! Can’t recommend enough!!!!

Dear Myra, Thank you so very much for your amazing review. Reading it truly made me so happy! I really enjoyed spending time with you both, and I’m thrilled that we could provide experiences that left such a positive impression. The Go instructor and my husband were also very honored and delighted to hear your kind words. Both experiences are so unique, and I would be very happy if your first trip to Hokkaido brings back wonderful memories of the time you spent here. I look forward to guiding you again tomorrow and will do my very best to make it another wonderful experience. Thank you again for the highest compliment a guide could receive! Warm regards, Bobby

She’s a wonderful tour guide!

Thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour with Bobby. As a local she has deep understanding of the area we took in and is quite adapt with English having lived a decade in Canada. She also was personable and went out of her way to accommodate our requests such as arranging a last minute request for dining. The restaurant was set to close soon but she made arrangements, had us seated and helped with our ordering before she left us. The food was the best I had in Japan. She has a warm and bubbly personality and was by far the best private tour guide we’ve ever had experienced. She not only tailored our excursion specific to all the varying requirements of our diverse group of 6 but also was able to make adjustments to our itinerary as we progressed through our entire excursion

Dear Nancy & Family, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! They truly mean more than I deserve. I had such a wonderful time with all of you, and I’m deeply grateful for your warmth and thoughtfulness throughout the day. Your family was so cheerful and kind. Your mom especially left a lasting impression on me. Her positive energy and gentle words gave me such encouragement. It was also very touching to see how beautifully everyone supported her in such a natural way. Please give her and everyone my warmest regards. I’m also very happy to hear that you enjoyed the meal! I was hoping it would be a pleasant and relaxed experience for you all with no rush. Your comment is truly the highest compliment for Hakodate! Thank you again for taking the time to write such a lovely review. You truly made my day. If you ever come back to Japan, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to see you all again! Warmest regards, Bobby
