A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
If Japan’s cities were family members, Sapporo would be the cool cousin. Known for its thrilling winter sports, spectacular Hoheikyo hot springs, year-round Ōdōri Park festivals, and its iconic beer brand, Sapporo is an city that demands attention. With a local host, you’ll tick off 15 of the city’s must-sees with the ease of a ski jumper zooming down the famous Okura-yama slope. Try fresh uni (sea urchin) at the traditional Nijo Market, explore cultural hub Nakajima Park next to the Toyohira River, and visit the Sapporo Beer Museum to sample a range of delicious brews. In tranquil Maruyama Park, see 150-year-old Hokkaidō Shrine before heading to your local insider’s favorite izakaya, where the zangi chicken is extra crispy.

The tour guide was considerate by providing his Whatsapp for contact in case I couldn’t find him… which I did initially because I was on the wrong side of the station. Nonetheless, it was a nice leisurely 6 hours. Took me to the places that I had not been to yet. I am hitting up the spots he recommended me today before I head home to LA tomorrow. Great job!

We enjoyed our time with Ryuki. He tailored the tour to what we were interested in and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Ask him about the best ramen place in Sapporo when you take your tour.
