yuko was outstanding. She took us around City of Sapporo and took time to show us various city attractions. She was kind and friendly and made us feel comfortable. If we go there again , we will use her expertise.

Nori is an excellent tour guide and made a positive impact on our visit to Sapporo. He is knowledgeable and kind-hearted, and took care of all the public transport tickets for us which was a relief since we don't speak Japanese.

Chieko was our tour guide for two days she is very knowledgeable, accommodating and caring person.She tells us about the history of Sapporo, culture,best food ,best place and took us to places we want to see.We enjoy her company so much that we only have 1 day tour that we booked we are lucky enough to have her on our second day tour. I highly recommend her because she can speak English and always look for the best for us.We feel like we known her for so long and that we are family.When we com back to Sapporo we will contact and request for her again. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Ms. Chieko was an amazing tour guide. Family friendly and patient with our 8 and 6 year old daughters, who are not the easiest to travel with. Saw so much because of her ability to navigate the local public transit lines. Very enjoyable day ranging from a trip to the top of a mountain with a very cool Olympic Museum and exhibit and ending and a great chocolate factory. Great memories highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to get around Sapporo.

Our tour guide had good English and was very helpful. Unfortunately our accommodation was in Shin Sappora not Sapporo. This meant extra travel time, therefore less time at places of interest.

Thank you so much to Akiko for the wonderful tour! Akiko is a very friendly and helpful guide. Akiko met me at my hotel and we first went to the Sapporo Clock Tower. After that we went to Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium and went to the top of the mountain which has a great view of Sapporo. Next we had lunch at a Ramen restaurant in Susukino district. Lastly, we went to Shiroikoibito Park (White Lovers Park) chocolate factory. I had a great time seeing Sapporo and I highly recommend this tour!

We have the absolute highest praise and gratitude for our Sapporo guide, Chieko, who proudly showed us many splendid highlights of Sapporo and patiently answered all of our many questions (as new arrivals to Japan). Our favourite parts were Olympic Ski Jump (amazing), chocolate factory (yummy), fish markets (wow, to see the seafood!), and learning how to catch public transport successfully. Thanks. Our major delight was our delicious lunch curries and ramen at Fukunoki restaurant- we all highly recommend! We are Hugely Thankful to Chieko for her friendly, accommodating hospitality.

We couldn't have gotten a better Sapporo guide, and trip designer - Ms. Chieko!!! Our family immediately felt comfortable upon meeting Chieko, as if she was a long-time Sapporo family friend giving us her city's winter tour. She has a good command of the English language to conduct the tour with all her local and historical knowledge of Sapporo and Hokkaido, but still has the Japanese accent when she talks so that makes it all the more authentic. From our hotel, we went on a walking tour to see Former Hokkaido Government Office (it's remodeling), the Sapporo Clock Tower and Odori Park. From there, we took the subway and bus, and went to Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium used during the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. After all that snow we were ready for something hot for our tummies, so Chieko took us to Ganso Ramen alley in Susukino, where we had sumptuous bowls at a place visited by Anthony Bourdain. Warm and refreshed, we walked along the TanukiKoji Shopping Street and oogled fresh seafood at Nijo Fish Market. Finally, we ended the day at Shiroi Koibito Park or Chocolate Factory. We're a well-travelled family and have taken tours in many parts of the world, and can say the Chieko is one of the best. She knows Sapporo like the back of her hand to give you local feel and vibe while doing the walking and commuting by bus and subway. We highly recommend this tour and Chieko!

Chieko was an excellent guide showing the highlights of Sapporo under snowfall. Transportation around was taken care of and she was able to answer any questions that came to mind. If you are visiting Sapporo any time of the year, I highly recommend taking this tour.

My family is very lucky to have Chieko as our local guide. We covered the popular places in Sapporo and helped us took many memorable family pics! Her time management is excellent. She ensured we get to eat halal lunch on time and catch the buses/trains promptly without wasting time. Her friendliness and warmth made us very comfortable and she shared many interesting facts abt the local culture and history. She speaks well and is willing to go all out to help us maximize our time. We made the right choice to engage a local guide as first-timers because it makes sightseeing totally stress free! Places visited includes: clock tower, tv tower, odori park, chocolate factory, ski jump olympic stadium, shopping street mall and nijo market. Thank you Chieko for everything you've done for us!
