Hi, I’m Hikaru, your friendly and adventurous Sapporo host! I’m passionate about this city’s incredible food scene—think fresh seafood, savory ramen, and cozy izakayas where you can enjoy affordable, delicious bites. I also love winter adventures, from snowboarding on pristine powder to ice fishing on frozen lakes. Whether we’re exploring hidden izakayas that locals love or venturing to nearby gems like Furano, Asahikawa, and Hakodate, I’ll make sure you experience the best of Hokkaido. My curiosity and charm will help you feel right at home, even in spots that might seem intimidating at first. Let’s dive into Sapporo’s flavors, fun, and snowy wonders together—I can’t wait to show you around!
