Guide #75689

Hello! I am an American male bi-lingual (English & Japanese) tour guide based/living in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. I have lived here several decades and I am very familiar with the best places to see in Sapporo and outside of Sapporo/ other areas of Hokkaido. I can take you to the standard/well known sightseeing spots as well as "off the beaten path spots" that many overseas guests are unaware of. My tours are fun, on schedule, informative and transportation-wise very timely and smooth. Less time commuting and more time at location enjoying each point of interest. I have many years of experience guiding tours in Sapporo and out to other areas of Hokkaido as well. Most of my tours are 1 day tours usually starting at 8 or 9a.m. and concluding between 6:00-6:30p.m. I use public transportation (buses, JR trains, and subways). For guided tours with only 1 traveler or small groups of 2-3 travelers, my private car is available for use. Meet up location is usually at Sapporo Station in the morning but I can arrange to meet you in the lobby of your hotel if requested. I look forward to guiding you here in Sapporo and throughout Hokkaido!

    Scott used significant time to customize our tour to our tastes and schedule. We spent a day in Otaru and a morning in Sapporo. He even organized a chopstick making workshop for us as an add on which was definitely a highlight of the trip. After 30+ years in Japan, Scott is fluent in language and custom and was frank in his insights.

    Kathryn I am so happy that you and Dag enjoyed your time in both Otaru and Sapporo. I enjoyed meeting you both and spending time with you both over the course of two days. I also enjoyed watching you carve and shape your chopsticks as much as you enjoyed doing the activity. I look forward to seeing both of you in Hokkaido "on down the line" and guiding you to new...
