What you’ll do

With your local host leading your family through Sapporo, you can rest assured: the kids are alright! From central Ōdōri Park, where year-round festivals and seasonal bungee jumping attract families from all over Japan, to the Historical Village of Hokkaidō, an open-air museum where you could get a history lesson on a horse-drawn trolley, it’s impossible to be bored. Ride to the top of the famous Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium like Olympic athletes in 1972, get a sugar rush at the Ishiya Chocolate Factory at Shiroi Koibito Park, with chocolate exhibits that put Willy Wonka to shame, or simply browse huge, flashy shopping centers in entertainment district Susinko before slurping down Sapporo’s spectacular miso ramen at a tiny noodle bar.

Zarina is a very good tour guide. She was detailed and had all the information needed for the short tour plan. She has also a lot of good activities for the kids which makes her an excellent choice for family with kids.

My family and I are glad we hire a tour guide because we were able to explore more of Japan. Our tour guide’s name is Shiunn she was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Shiunn showed us around Sapporo Japan and we had such a great experience. Shiunn was able to share her thoughts and suggestions to help us get around town on our own. The next day my family and I were able to explore on our own and we saved a lot of time instead of researching places to go ourselves. I highly recommend hiring a tour guide to show you around so you can spend more time vacationing rather then wasting precious time during our vacation.
