What you’ll do

From the thrilling winter sports scene to the world-famous February Snow Festival, Sapporo is a must-see city for too many reasons to count. Luckily, with a local insider leading the way, you’ll experience the real city. You could see the sights that narrate Japan’s history, like 150-year-old Hokkaidō Shrine, century-old Nijo Market, or the Historical Village of Hokkaidō – an open-air museum housing 60 structures from the “frontier days” of the mid-1800s. Or maybe you’ll get a taste of modern Sapporo – like neon-lit nightlife hubs, Kit Kat stores selling 100 unique flavors, and an exciting new festival every month on the expansive lawns of central Ōdōri Park. Whatever you choose, a draft of Sapporo beer is the only way to end your day.

Our guide Leo came well-prepared based on our requirements and gave us the best-customised tour which caters specifically to our liking. We managed to visit the place to get our choice of mechandise. We also visited the well anticipated Sapporo Beer Museum. We will recommend anyone who like a Sapporo full day tour to engage his service. Well done, looking forward to our next visit to Sapporo!

Leo was well prepared for the trip and did a lot of research after receiving all the requirements from us. We visited everywhere we wanted to go and also fulfilled our wish to visit Tower Records to get the Merchandise we were looking for. We also managed to visit the much-anticipated Sapporo Beer Museum. Also, we did an impromptu snowman while it was snowing outside the place which was a delightful surprise since we never got to see snow during our last trip to Japan. We will always remember this wonderful experience! Thanks Leo for being such a wonderful guide. See you next time round when we are here again.

Had a very funny day with Leo, showed me much of the city and such things I would call „hidden gems“ If I could I would do the tour again. Great guy, nice city. Can only recommend it.

Akihiro showed me around places I'd probably not go to by myself. It was great! I felt like he nailed my vague assignment of "don't do tourist stuff", while still showing me around interesting places. Thank you!
