Hi, I am Hiro, a licensed National English-speaking guide. I was born and brought up in Sapporo. I have been an official interpreter of Sapporo Asian Winter Games in 2017. I have hosted six high school students from abroad in my house for a few months each, showing many sightseeing spots in Sapporo and Hokkaido, introducing local foods, Japanese rules and manners, culture and history. I like sea fishing. So I am very familiar with many kinds of sea food in Hokkaido, how to cook them and of course how to enjoy eating them. I have participated in marathon races many times. So I am good at and enjoy walking around in Sapporo, Otaru and other cities in Hokkaido. I also worked as a medical English interpreter for foreign residents in Sapporo.　I am sure you will have a wonderful memory of your tour in Japan. Please do not hesitate to message me for a customised experience!

Overview of your Hakodate tour

Hakodate is one of Japan’s most charming port cities, blending Japanese tradition with Western influence in a way few other places can. Once one of the first ports opened to foreign trade in the 19th century, it has a fascinating history tied to the end of the Edo Shogunate and the modernization of Japan. On this tour, I will take you through Hakodate’s main sightseeing areas by steercar, bus, and ropeway, so you can truly feel the flow of history and everyday life here. Because I have a deep personal connection with this city, I love sharing stories and little-known details that bring Hakodate to life for visitors. Admission and transportation fees are included, so you can simply relax and immerse yourself in the experience. I can customize this tour according to your requests. All the tickets are coordinated by the registered Japan travel agency MY Travel Consulting Inc.
