My wife and I had such a wonderful time with Karen. Not only did we have the best fried chicken, but also enjoyed all the crafts that Otaru has to offer, especially the Otaru handmade glass. Additionally, she took the time to show us around such a beautiful city during the snow path festival. We couldn’t have imagined a more wonderful time. At the end of our tour, Karen gave us some amazing recommendations of where to explore outside of the touristy zones of Sapporo. A day we will not forget! Thank you Karen.

일본에 10년째 살고계시고 일본어에 능숙하신 덴마크 분이 영어로 안내해주셨어요. 저희는 명소 방문도 하지만 도시전체에 대한 전반적인 설명과 오리엔테이션을 위해 일부러 삿포로 여행 첫날 가이드 신청했고 저희가 원하는 일정과 장소로 완벽하게 맞추어 움직였고 전반적인 동선체크와 예약 확인을 위해 레스토랑과 전화 통화도 여러번 해주셨어요. 덕분에 다음날 식당 예약도 확정짓고 맘편히 다녔습니다. 원하시면 빠르게 움직여 많은 곳을 가이드 해주실수도 있을거예요. 저희는 느긋하게 다녔고 편하게 해주셨어요. 한국에 대해 관심도 많고 한국문화도 좋아하셔서 이야기하기도 편했습니다. 일본어와 영어만 가능하신 점 고려해서 예약하시면 좋을것 같아요. A Danish person who has lived in Japan for 10 years and is fluent in Japanese guided us in English. We also visit attractions, but for the general explanation and orientation of the whole city, we deliberately applied for a guide on the first day of our Sapporo trip, moved perfectly to the schedule and location we wanted, and made several phone calls to restaurants to check the overall movement and reservations. yeah Thanks to that, I confirmed the restaurant reservation for the next day and went there comfortably. If you want, you can move quickly and guide many places. We went leisurely and made us feel comfortable. He was interested in Korea and liked Korean culture, so it was easy to talk with him. It would be nice to make a reservation considering that only Japanese and English are available.
