    Our tour of Sapporo was fantastic! Ryuki went above and beyond what we expected. We were expecting to pay for taxis to get around to the various sites in the city but he drove us around in his own very comfortable car. He was friendly, outgoing and very knowledgeable. Not only did he take us to the various sites, but he also explained to us the cultural history and significance of the various sites. His English was impeccable. If you're looking for an English speaking tour guide in Sapporo please do yourself a favor and use Ryuki!

    Emilio was a wonderful tour guide. He has lived in Sapporo for several years and knows the city very well. We started our tour at a wonderful fish market away from the heavy crowds. He introduced us to the subway and the fascinating underground city of walkways and stores. We also visited the top floor of a tall downtown building to get great panoramic views of the city. He then showed us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. All the while he spoke beautifully of the city, its people and what he loves most about Sapporo and what he finds challenging. He also shared his views of Japan in general and gave us advice on how to enjoy our trip going forward. Overall an A + rating for Emilio who we enjoyed very much. Thanks to Emilio and best wishes to him and his young family.

    We had a great experience with Akihiro touring Sapporo. It was booked as a food/drink tour and we loved the places he showed us — spotlighting Hokkaido’s simple but delicious approach to hospitality. We also enjoyed the conversation about life in Hokkaido and the factors that make it distinct from the more traveled parts of Japan. We even had time to go over some Japanese and American literature. All in all, and enjoyable and informative evening. We highly recommend Akihiro!

    A marvellous day. Emi was helpful, knowledgeable and flexible. When the clouds came in and left the ropeway completely covered, we simply switched to a different part of the itinerary. If you are just about to have her as a guide you are lucky people.

    it makes a difference touring a city with a native son. Akihiro's choice of sites to visit was telling and perhaps unexpected
