I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido. Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature. I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.

¡Hola! Soy Hiromi Asada, guía de turismo oficial (español). Vivo en la ciudad de Sapporo de Hokkaido, la isla que está más al norte de Japón. Es famosa por su bella naturaleza, por los centros turísticos de invierno y la cultura del Ainu (indígena de Hokkaido). Me gustan mucho el deporte, la música, el vino, y por supuesto viajar. ¡Vamos a pasear juntos a conocer otro mundo!

Family fun in Hakodate

We were only in Hakodate for 1 day. Tomio, our guide, was able to fit in a full day of activities into the day with being flexible at each activity to allow us the time to enjoy it. At the Market, Tomio, made sure we visited all the unique stalls and the stalls with the best food selections. We opted to take public transportation which worked well out well with our budget. Overall, Tomio was a great guide and my family enjoyed the day.

Tomio Y.

Thank your for the review. I hope you and your family member had great days in Japan.

Fantastic Guide to Shirogane Blue Pond and Furano Flower Fields

Miyuki was very knowledgeable and helped through the ticketing process at each stop. A great majority of time was spent traveling to and from each area and back to Sapporo but Miyuki was able to share different facts about the area. Her suggestion for lunch was also very good (soba). Would highly recommend her as a tour guide for the Hokkaido area!

Gary san Thank you for having me as a guide. You must be so disappointed lavender season was finished. I am afraid nature is unpredictable. I hope you have another opportunity to come here again. Regards, Miyuki
