Great tour - we saw lots of things - Mr. Yakuwa was an outstanding guide. He spoke English well and had very good local and historical knowledge. We opted for a tour heavy on walking and got in about 20,000 steps! We saw Odori Park, the Nijo fish market, subterranean retail arcade, the Olympic ski jump at Okurayama with an incredible panoramic view of Sapporo, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, the Sapporo beer factory and finally the historic Sapporo Clock Tower.

Wonderful Sapporo walking tour with Michiko - We had a wonderful walking tour with Michiko and the whole family. She guided us to the key sights in Sapporo and her suggestions on exploring the Olympic Park and navigating the underground passageway, visiting Ramen Alley and sweets shops, made our day memorable. Her excellent time management skills ensured we didn't miss the essential bus schedule and maximized our day. Thank you, Michiko, for your impeccable service!

Michiko San is an amazing guide -- friendly, knowledgable, and super helpful! - Our guide Michiko San, was extremely helpful, kind, and knowledgable. She showed us all the important landmarks around Sapporo. She was extremely considerate of our preferences and customized the tour accordingly. We enjoyed the flower show at Odori Park, visited the clock tower, the garden near the govt building with a stunning lotus pond, the chocolate factory, toured the seafood market, had a yummy seafood bowl recommended by her for lunch, and also did a bit of shopping with her help. Throughout the tour, she explained the history of the places, answered all our questions, and gave us some great suggestions on what to do on the other days. It was a really lovely experience having her as a guide. Both my husband and I enjoyed her company a lot. I highly recommend Michiko San. 😊
