A night in Sapporo, your way

Sapporo’s famous beer, izakaya hopping and well deserved ramen as you weave your way home.

What you’ll do

Discover Sapporo at night, where there’s something for every type of night owl. Maybe you’re looking for a revelrous few hours of partying and pachinko parlors (a cross between pinball and slot machines) in nightlife hub Susukino, Sapporo’s own “Little Tokyo”, or perhaps slurping up Hokkaido ramen in a tiny noodle bar, watching the world go by, is more your scene. You could drink draft beers and crunch through zangi chicken at your host’s favorite izakaya, see lit-up art installations at Moerenuma Park after dark, or head to the famous Mt. Moiwa Ropeway for a viewpoint that’s officially been listed as one of the best night scenes in Japan (when you see the millions of twinkling lights for yourself, you’ll know why.)

Had a blast touring Sapporo with Zarina! She showed us some of the structures in the city center and told us places to shop, took us to Shiroi Kobito Park (very very nice place where she treated us for hot choco), and we had the best soup curry at Picante then dropped us off at the tv tower. just be reminded that food and train tickets are not included in this tour so you need to pay for your guide. also dinner would take up time from the 4- hour tour so maybe you can skip that . but of course tour can be customized to your liking

Akihiro was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and made the experience wonderful from beginning to end when he placed us in a cab and waved goodbye.

Travelling with my 4 year old son for the first time and walking around to see places was not his thing. He had a feat because he did not walk to walk, I am grateful that Akihiro went to meet us where we were when we were lost before the meet up and travelled back to get his stroller. I loved the wagyu beef restaurant, mikyuyoshi mecca of food and tea shop since 1935 where I got to try matcha tea and ice cream. Ended with Sapporo tv tower beautiful and so memorable.I look forward to booking again another trip. Thank you Akihiro it was a trip for the books! until next time!!!

This personalized walking tour was amazing. I lived in Japan and coming back we wanted to see non tourist local spots. Snowy and icy we easily navigated through Nakajima Koen (park) and viewed the sun through a telescope. We saw carp in local streams, enjoyed a local favorite curry soup, two stories underground. We met local dog owners and pet several Shiba Inu. Mostly though, our guide knew so much history and cultural context that Sapporo came alive for us. Thanks Zarina.

Zarina was well versed at Sapporo history and culture. She also was able to save us considerable time and money steering us clear of the tourist traps and showing us alternate stores and restaurants that were cheaper and closer to our hotel. She was also extremely flexible and was able to meet us at a different location as the original meeting place did not get relayed to her. Overall she was a wonderful guide I would higher recommend who was kind, considerate, knowledgeable, flexible and spoke English and Japanese very well! She was a 10 out of 10 guide. Strongly recommend!
