What you’ll do

If Japan’s cities were family members, Sapporo would be the cool cousin. Known for its thrilling winter sports, spectacular Hoheikyo hot springs, year-round Ōdōri Park festivals, and its iconic beer brand, Sapporo is an city that demands attention. With a local host, you’ll tick off 15 of the city’s must-sees with the ease of a ski jumper zooming down the famous Okura-yama slope. Try fresh uni (sea urchin) at the traditional Nijo Market, explore cultural hub Nakajima Park next to the Toyohira River, and visit the Sapporo Beer Museum to sample a range of delicious brews. In tranquil Maruyama Park, see 150-year-old Hokkaidō Shrine before heading to your local insider’s favorite izakaya, where the zangi chicken is extra crispy.

The tour guide was considerate by providing his Whatsapp for contact in case I couldn’t find him… which I did initially because I was on the wrong side of the station. Nonetheless, it was a nice leisurely 6 hours. Took me to the places that I had not been to yet. I am hitting up the spots he recommended me today before I head home to LA tomorrow. Great job!

Very nice tour. Enjoyed an overview of Sapporo - loved the local perspective. Loved starting, with the ski slope views over the city. Had a lovely mix of activities.

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.
