How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Strap in for a whirlwind experience of Sapporo’s own “Little Tokyo” – a bright, bold world of bars, clubs, restaurants and lots of shopping. Get lost in huge, flashy shopping centers, head below to browse 100-yen shops in the underground corridors connecting Susukino to Ōdōri, and stock up on souvenirs and every conceivable Kit Kat flavor (including ‘baked potato’!) in the Tanukikoji shopping arcade. If a wild night is what you’re after, Susukino’s got you covered with hundreds of cocktail bars, karaoke bars, and noodle bars to choose from. After testing your luck at a pachinko parlor – a cross between pinball and slot machines – perhaps you’ll end up in Ramen Alley sampling Sapporo’s miso ramen, generously topped with butter and corn.

Zarina was a great guide. She contacted me before we arrived to check if there were specific things we wanted or if we had any restrictions. She was so knowledgeable not only about Otaru but all of Hokkaido. We learned a lot and really enjoyed all the spots she took us to.

Leo was engaging and knew so much about Japanese culture. Being Australian, we needed help when purchasing tickets, shopping and generally made our trip to Otaru seamless. He helped us by explaining customs and no question went unanswered. Because he went above and beyond we were able to make our own glass ornaments and enjoy a lamb meal. We had a perfect day full of fun and wonderful conversation as Leo led us around Ortaru .

Ryuki was the best tour guide! In Otaru, we visited glass shops from local artists and a shop of music boxes made in Japan. We also stopped at the Olympic Museum in Sapporo. Thank you Ryuki!
