Had the best time exploring Sapporo with Ryo. We had exchanged emails ahead of time and he was able to customize the tour based on what we wanted to do in town. It was the perfect way to spend our first full day in Sapporo (and Hokkaido in general) as Ryo left us with plenty of tips and recommendations that we used for the rest of our time in the city. Felt like hanging out with an old friend by the end of our tour.

Ryo (Leo) was an awesome guide and really customized the tour to what I was interested in! We saw so much of Sapporo, and it was great to get a sense of the city from his perspective, having lived here for many years. Even outside of the tour, Ryo provided some wonderful recommendations for the rest of my time in Sapporo and other cities I would be visiting in Japan. I was a solo traveler, and it felt like having one of my friends show me around his city!

I had a great experience on the walking city tour in Sapporo with Leo. He was very personable and showed me some beautiful park areas, scenic viewpoints, and even arranged a lovely tea tasting. It was the perfect way to wrap up my trip to Japan, and I’d definitely come back for more! Communication with Leo was easy and excellent – he’s fluent in both English and Japanese, which made everything seamless. Just a heads-up for future travelers: If a taxi is used during the tour or there are any entry fees, these are not included in the tour price and should be paid separately. Thank you again, Leo!
