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
Strap in for a whirlwind experience of Sapporo’s own “Little Tokyo” – a bright, bold world of bars, clubs, restaurants and lots of shopping. Get lost in huge, flashy shopping centers, head below to browse 100-yen shops in the underground corridors connecting Susukino to Ōdōri, and stock up on souvenirs and every conceivable Kit Kat flavor (including ‘baked potato’!) in the Tanukikoji shopping arcade. If a wild night is what you’re after, Susukino’s got you covered with hundreds of cocktail bars, karaoke bars, and noodle bars to choose from. After testing your luck at a pachinko parlor – a cross between pinball and slot machines – perhaps you’ll end up in Ramen Alley sampling Sapporo’s miso ramen, generously topped with butter and corn.

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.
