How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat 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.

I had the honor and thrill to go eating with the local power lifting legend himself Ryuki. The man is a true gentle giant who knows the area well as he grew up here. Another bonus was he drove us around to locations I would never find myself. Food was great. Conversation and history of area was great. And he was an interesting man to talk to as well. Def eat the cow tonight !

Akihiro was a wonderful host and was able to change restaurants when we decided we wanted to sit at a table rather than at the Ramen bar. He spent a lot of time making sure we enjoyed ourselves. We were happy to spend our first day with him in Sapporo - it made it a lot easier for us to know our way around. He also helped us understand our food options in Japan which is also very helpful since we have 2 more weeks to go....

Ryuki was the best tour guide! In Otaru, we visited glass shops from local artists and a shop of music boxes made in Japan. We also stopped at the Olympic Museum in Sapporo. Thank you Ryuki!

The tour was a great overview of the city. Emilio was a charm to spend a few hours with exploring the city and learning about culture and history.
