Full Day Green Season Hiking in Sapporo and Hokkaido with onsen.
Trekmate is highly recommended. Chris is an awesome guide!
Chris is a wonderful guide! He is friendly, open, easy to talk with and knows the mountains around Hokkaido extremely well, He is thoroughly knowledgeable about the hundreds of trails in the area. We asked him to modify our route a bit to take account of a couple of bad knees which he did easily and seamlessly, which is to say without any fuss. Chris knows all of the flora and fauna of the region and equipped himself with bear repellent, which we did not need to use. At the end of our 11km hike, Chris prepared us a delicious camping lunch and then took us to a local Onsen for a wonderful hot spring/cold plunge bath with sauna, the excellent end to a lovely day. We would recommend Chris highly! While we trekked with Chris in September, he also leads day and overnight snowshoe excursions in the winder months.

Green Season Half Day Hikes in Sapporo and Hokkaido with Onsen
Perfect Private Hike...
Perfect Private Hike Around Sapporo, 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chris was an outstanding guide! He was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the area. Having him all to ourselves made the day feel personal. He tailored the pace to us, answered every question, and shared many details about the local landscape along the way. Although the hike wasn’t rated as challenging, it had a few steep sections that really got the heart pumping. Chris kept us motivated and made sure we felt supported the whole time. The effort was absolutely worth it: the views from the top were spectacular, with sweeping panoramas of the surrounding mountains and city below. If you're looking to get out of the city for a rewarding outdoor adventure near Sapporo, I can't recommend a private tour with Chris highly enough. Bring good shoes, plenty of water, and a camera. Thanks, Chris, for an amazing day!

walking and geology
We had just arrived in Japan so wanted a gentle start to our holiday and this was just perfect. Communication from Chris was great and he was so knowledgable about everything on the tour but so helpful on a wider range of all things Japan. Definitely recommend Chris.
