Toru is an excellent guide who made me feel very welcome and comfortable in his city of Sapporo. He helped me orient myself within the city and gave me a range of ideas for how to spend the rest of my time there. Toru's food recommendations were also excellent. He was great company and definitely made the most of the short time we had together to 'kick start' my time in Sapporo.

I cannot recommend our tour with Toru in Sapporo highly enough! We asked for a tour that was not necessarily all of the tourist sites, more like something off the beaten track. Every event and site that Toru took us to see felt like a special treasure. I didn't even mention in our questionnaire that my partner and I coach track and cross country. Toru brought up several options that were going on around the city including a regional Kyudo competition. (Kyudo is ancient Japanese archery). The winning students would go on to nationals. I still get chills when I think about the poise, grace, beauty, and artistry of this sport. We had a picnic in the park between rounds. If our day had ended here it would have been perfect, but Toru had so many more adventures planned for us. We met a bonsai master and what an honor that was, everyone at the garden was so lovely. We also walked through a gorgeous park, to a shrine, and Toru showed us just what to do. We also ate our way accross the city, even trying (& loving) natto. Our vacation was over 20 days long and the best, I mean absolute best food we had over that 20 days was with Toru. It was in a tiny curry soup restaurant that you would never know about unless someone showed you the location. We had so much fun we decided to stay 1 more day in Sapporo, so Toru helped us find a room. Saying goodbye made us sad. Toru showed us the ins and outs of using the trains and subways so well that we never got lost in Tokyo. We want to take another trip to Japan to see more locations and we will absolutely be using City-Unscripted and Toru again! When my partner and I reflect on our favorite part of our vacation he and I both agree that our time with Toru in Sapporo was our favorite!

My husband, I, and our adult son arrived into Sapporo for a quick two day stay. Since we didn't have much time to get to explore the area on our own, we signed up for an afternoon tour to see and learn as possible in the short time. We took a private walking tour with Toru and enjoyed our time sightseeing in the central Sapporo area. Toru was professional and informative and gave us a great overview. We learned a lot and we felt we saw everything we needed to get a feel of the area. Thank you for a fun afternoon!

Hi Toru. We had an enjoyable tour with you and learned a lot about the area. Thank you again!
