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
Sapporo, Japan’s resident cool kid – the one who loves beer and goes skiing every winter – is a must-see city for way too many reasons to squeeze into just four hours, but with a local host as a GPS and guidebook, you’ll easily pack the most into your time. Perhaps you’ll get a fascinating history lesson at the Historical Village of Hokkaidō, or maybe you’ll ride to the top of the famous Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium like an athlete from Sapporo’s 1972 Winter Olympics. Wind down in neon-lit entertainment district Susukino for a drink at your host’s favorite izakaya, or make your way to Horomitoge Lavender Garden – a sprawling, lavender-blanketed lookout point with sunset views that are pure perfection.

Emi had excellent local knowledge and tailored the excursion to suit our needs and interests. Her husband Dave came along and (being a native English speaker) helped make everything run smoothly.

I had told Ryoko of my partner's mobility issues so he picked us up from our hotel and took us out for 4 hours of fun and information. We especially liked our trip up the chairlift at the Olympic Ski Jump site, a new experience. We had lunch at a little ramen place where the owner played British rock music as well as serving excellent ramen.
