Hi !My name is Kumiko, living in Hokkaido in Japan. I have been working as an English teacher for over 25 years, and have been living here about 30 years. We got 7 exchange students from Canada as a host family and supporting foreign guests and introducing Japan is my lifework. and also have been working as a tour conductor for Japanese people, so I can take and guide you to the most popular tourist destinations in Hokkaido, including islands, Furano, Biei, Otaru, Yoichi, Noboribetsu, Toya, Hokodate. Each place has its own local cuisine and original beautiful scenery culture and history. Most of all customers are very satisfied with my tour and we are always having a wonderful time. My place Hokkaido is full of attractions for foreign travelers. Recently Japanese whiskey and wine are getting more and more famous and popular. So I can take you a good bar in the Susukino area. of course, outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobile are fantastic, too. I have a ski coach license so we can enjoy snow activity together easily. We have many ski courses around the center of Sapporo city, so you can experience only in the morning time. I have taught skiing to more than 60 foreign customers and I was surprised they all got better very quickly. The other day, I guided many customers from all over the world to Niseko trying tree trekking and rafting together. It was amazing and I was so impressed by their challenging spirits that even over 70-year-old gentlemen could jump into the river from the cliff! We talked about many things about SDG, the economy, the charm of Japan, our future dream, and so on. This is the most fantastic we can share feelings and opinions with each other to be good fellows on earth. Through this experience, I have recognized what is Japan's attractions again and started to think about how I can guide you to understand our country more and of course, make the best memories in Japan. Talking about culture, I have a kimono teacher license. Wearing a kimono is one of our beautiful culture and each step to wear has meaning. I would like to introduce you to the Japanese spiritual culture hidden in our daily behaviors. There are so many other things I want you to know about Japan. I am really looking forward to sharing the exciting experiences with you all! National Government Licensed tour guide Ski instructor Kimono teacher
