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.

I used to be a high school English teacher at the public high school in Hokkaido. I retired from an English teacher 6 years ago and I got a license of the national government licensed guide interpreter. I live in a small city named Abashiri, which is located in the eastern part of Hokkaido island, Japan and very rich in nature. Abashiri is surrounded by natural beauty such as lakes, rivers and mountains. I like to go hiking in the mountains near our city all year round. In spring, we can see beautiful peaks crwoned with remaining snow, in summer there are a lot of alpine flowers, in autumn we can see gorgeous autumn colors and in winter we can enjoy snowshoeing in the small mountains on sunny days and seeing beautiful Okhotsk Sea covered with drift ice. I would like you to enjoy walking in the forests while hearing birds singing. I hope you will have a chace to enjoy some of them. I can help you spend wonderful time here. Abashiri offers you not only natural beauty but also some interesting museums which specialize in northern minorities such as Ainu, Inuit and Eskimo. Also, there is a drift ice museum where you can touch some drift ice in the very cold room (-15 degrees Celsius) even in summer. You will have a great time visiting those small museums.

Hi, I am Mayu. I can speak English and Spanish (for guiding my Spanish needs to be polished. But I can communicate). I have had experiences as a tour leader for groups of Japanese tourists to foreign countries and foreign tourists in Japan, Tokyo, Osaka. Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kanazawa and many other cities. I live in Hokkaido. My tours are around my city, Asahikawa. But I can customize your plan and take you around Japan. (Please let me know 2 weeks before your plan.) Even if my days are not available on my calendar, I could arrange them for you. So please ask me for availability.(I am not available from Sep. 17 to Nov. 4 ) I like hiking and cycling. If you are interested in those things, I will make a plan for you. I am looking forward to showing you around Japan. Hola, Me llamo Mayu. Soy guia turistica. Puedo comunicar bien en Español. Pero tal vez no sería suficiente para hacer turismo. Si te gusta que te guie, después de comunicar con usted, será un placer.

Great Guide

Pancho (Tetsuo) was an amazing guide. His English was fluent, and made it easy to ask questions for everyone in my group. He was highly knowledgeable of the area and as an added bonus, helped us make dinner reservations for the evening. He was positive knew Hiroshima well, and made learning about the city and surrounding area very enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone interested in going to Hiroshima.

Hi Mari-san, Thank you so much for your great review and recommendation! It was great time to me having all of you and your family on my 400th anniversary tour on that day. We had really good time with all of you not only guiding around but also exchange all of our diverse company's culture/history and more. I'm glad to hear that you felt Hiroshima's positive side as well, that is what I focus on my tour as a guide here in Hiroshima. Happy to hear you enjoyed my favorite dinner place too! Thanks again, Pancho

Off the beaten path tour.

Akira will take you to places where locals go for lunch and the best shaved ice. We also stopped by for a coffee made with love. If you are looking to visit Tokyo, off the beaten trail, then, I would highly recomend. Many thanks to Akira, who has been an amzing guide.

Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the great review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the day with me. It was so much fun to walk in the city with wonderful people like you and your family that I (and I assume you too) had forgotten about unpleasant weather that day. Thank you so much for having me as a guide and thank you so much for paying respect to locals and their culture wherever we went, I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
