Benjamin 15 February 2026

Host was very accomodating. Even though it was simple, we really enjoyed the fact that he was showing us the local things and what to buy in the stores which we would have likely overlooked if he had not pointed out.

My partner and I were fortunate enough to spend a half day in Sapporo recently with Shiunn. She was wonderful. We had a few ideas of what to see and she turned that into a delightful afternoon of sightseeing and chatting. Shiunn speaks excellent English and has great juju. Just book a tour with her, you’ll be glad you did.

Shiunn is a very friendly and funny guide who knows Sapporo and its history very well. She managed to show us the main attractions despite the heavy snow. We had a great time with her!

Daniel 25 January 2026

Our guide Shiunn was great, we walked around the picturesque university grounds near our hotel, saw a museum and were shown the history of the city and the indigenous people of Hokkaido. Although the 3 hours went quickly, we walked through the streets and the underground of Sapporo and were told about many places, which we then visited in the next few days. Our tour ended at one of Shiunn's favourite ramen placed which was delicious. Highly recommended this tour as a starting point in Sapporo to get your bearings and a feel for the city.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
