“Tour guide I had was named Tomo and he was really nice from beginning to end. Had a lot of knowledge of Sapporo, so he answered any questions we had. I went with a friend and we have never been to Sapporo so Tomo helped us out a lot. He properly showed us where to go and checked us in everywhere. Onsen he took us was very nice, all natural volcanic waters super refreshing especially after snowboarding, and slopes he brought us were one of the best I have seen. I’m a seasoned snowboarder and I have been to many great places like Mammoth and Aspen USA, and trust me…”

“Scott was an amazing guide and translator. We were able to really explore the Ainu Cultural Center! It was a great learning experience. I also enjoyed the foot bath! That was a great way to relax after exploring. A really great day in a beautiful area!”

“I think this tour may be the best way to visit the major tourist attractions in Sapporo. You could take the time to plan the exact same itinerary and do the same trip utilizing public transportation but I think this tour was excellent value for money. You-kun spoke many languages so that most if not all passengers understood what he was explaining.

“Was a great experience, a lot of time on the bus, but even that is enjoyable seeing Hokkaido go by. The time allotted at various stops could definitely be improved, i.e. more time in hell valley. Probably less in Otaru (since half the people ended the tour there anyway to either stay longer or take the train back to Sapporo). Definitely far less time at the depressing bear park (beautiful bears, sad conditions). It was also unclear where to get food during the lunch break - found a restaurant eventually but felt uncomfortable ordering when the bus might depart before the food comes, you know? Maybe I was just overly…”

“I really wanted to like this tour, but it was a huge let down. Most of the people on the tour were Chinese. There was only one other english speaker so 99% of the tour was talked in Chinese. There wasn't anything said about any of the sights we saw on our tour in English. It was terrible that it was a whole day trip because it felt like that day was lost for no reason.”

“I had a great time with Chris at Trekmate Hokkaido. I was doing a long solo trip around Asia and I wanted to go hiking in a remote area in Hokkaido. Other hiking tours had strict schedules that would have made it hard to fit into my trip. It would have been really hard to go solRead more”

“Went with my family (mother and my daughter) last Dec 29 and we had a good time. We have a private driver taking our pictures wherever possible. We love that he took us to Otaru Aquarium to see the Dolphin Show and Penguin walk. My daughter loves the matcha products from Sawawa Otaru in Sakaimachi 💗”
