Sapporo Inédit: Tour Privé Sur Mesure avec un Local Guide

Si vous souhaitez découvrir la cuisine japonaise, voir les sites de Sapporo ou simplement discuter avec un local et en apprendre un peu plus sur la culture japonaise, faites une visite de Cityunscripted comme nous l'avons fait il y a quelques jours. Ma fille de 19 ans et moi avons fait une visite personnalisée de 3 heures de Sapporo avec une jolie fille locale, Asuka. Grâce à Cityunscripted, nous avons demandé que nous voulions essayer des spécialités locales, visiter des magasins intéressants et en apprendre un peu plus sur Sapporo. Ils vous font ensuite correspondre avec un guide anglophone local qui vous contacte ensuite et élabore un itinéraire. Le processus de communication par e-mail était irréprochable. Vous pouvez également désigner votre heure de début. Asuka nous a rencontrés à notre hôtel, elle était adorable, nous avons appris sa vie au Japon, sa famille et ses voyages. Elle nous a emmenés dans 2 restaurants différents, une soupe au curry (une délicatesse Sapporo) où nous avons eu une merveilleuse soupe au curry. Ensuite, dans un beau magasin vendant des produits de bonne qualité fabriqués au Japon. Puis dans un restaurant de fruits de mer izakaya où nous avons bien sûr mangé d'excellentes boissons de fruits de mer.  Évidemment, les guides ont un budget alimentaire à respecter en fonction de vos demandes, ont dû payer un peu plus pour quelques boissons supplémentaires, mais c'était compréhensible et bien. Très plein après tout ça! Asuka a également envoyé un courriel à quelques autres sites et restaurants à visiter pendant notre temps libre. Pour résumer, cette expérience en valait la peine et je recommanderais vivement d'utiliser Cityunscripted et de rencontrer les habitants.

This was a great first day tour to get the layout of the city and some out of the way highlights. Ryuki was an excellent guide, and he took us to one of our favorite stops in Hokkaido: Asahiyama Memorial Park. The autumn leaves were at their peak, and the walk was lovely. We were able to see a mountain-top view of the city there as well. Along with other stops at the Hokkaido Shrine and the 1972 Winter Olympic Ski Jump, we had an amazing lunch at a ramen place for the special miso ramen. This is a terrific first tour of Sapporo when you only have a few hours.

Emi gave us a great tour of the beautiful Hokkaido Shrine . In addition we enjoyed visiting the whimsical chocolate factory

My husband, I, and our adult son arrived into Sapporo for a quick two day stay. Since we didn't have much time to get to explore the area on our own, we signed up for an afternoon tour to see and learn as possible in the short time. We took a private walking tour with Toru and enjoyed our time sightseeing in the central Sapporo area. Toru was professional and informative and gave us a great overview. We learned a lot and we felt we saw everything we needed to get a feel of the area. Thank you for a fun afternoon!

Our 4 hours Sapporo Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by a Local is a fantastic introduction to Sapporo. Our tour guide Akihiro is very knowledgeable and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed the excellent local seafood and ice cream introduced by Akihiro. We highly recommend this tour.

Very accommodating, informative and great customer service. Our guide Shiun was friendly and a very lovely woman. She took us around town, gave us options, took our pictures, kept to our pace and had great communication. Highly recommend.

A great day out with Leo (Ryo) as private guide. He is a fluent (native) English speaker but also Japanese and knows Sapporo very well. It was like getting a private tour from a friend. It was somewhat unstructured, which I really liked because we were able to stop into various stores and other places of interest on the way, whenever I wanted - and Leo made recommendations

Mrs Shiunn is super friendly and considerate when it comes to making minor adjustments to the proposed itinerary

Shiunn Tei is a great guide. She was on time, very personable, and spoke excellent English (and Japanese!). Shiunn accomodated our request to visit artisanal producers, we had a memorable experience at a traditional tea shop. The owner had a wide and deep knowledge of Japanese teas and importantly, showed us the how and why of brewing. The next step Shiunn shared the founding of Sapporo city and showed us sites (free!) you wouldn't normally find. We toured government buildings-sounds boring but it wasn't in her hands. There was a brief stop at a cafe decorated inside with dried flowers, very pretty and cozy. We then went to Maruyama park which contained a large, beautiful shrine. Shiunn pointed out a shop that made fresh pancakes with bean filling, a Japanese treat. It was a refreshing break! Next was the underground passage/shopping way that connects Sapporo Station, Odori Park, and Susukino. The walkways are a necessity in a city that receives ~16 feet of snow a year. It was an easy, and cooler way to walk with no street traffic. If you need retail therapy, this walk is for you! Loads of stores at the north end at Sapporo Station. Here is where we parted after 4 hours of touring, and we went on to enjoy a tempura and soba lunch. Thanks Shiunn, we had a memorable time.

Great Tour with a great Guide! Leo was my perfect company for that late afternoon walk. He brought me to some amazing places and provided the best experience with a dinner in a home cooking restaurant.
