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

We spent a wonderful day with Ms Kumiko Nakamuro, exploring the sights, learning about Japanese culture and history of Sapporo and Hokkaido. She easily adapted her plans to our requests. Ms Kumiko was very patient and kind with us and we spent a truly interesting day in Sapporo. Maybe we’ll meet again during ski season. Many thanks for an insightful tour :)

Kumiko was a superb guide. She arrived at my hotel on time, polite, gracious, and knew exactly where to take me, regarding Hokkaido history- my main interest. We had a splendid day. Ate lunch at the fish market (highly recommend it/best fish & sea food), had green tea & freshly made daifuku at the Shinto Park. Her English is excellent. She went the extra way to help me with my JR pass & connect me to my next hotel shuttle. I highly recommend Kumiko to anyone.

We’re so happy we booked our Sapporo tour with Kumiko! She’s professional, knowledgeable, flexible, very accommodating, and her warm personality was a plus. One member of our group had a medical condition, and to alleviate walking, Kumiko recommended she rent and drive a car to the various destinations versus using public transportation. This option was a perfect fit for us. Thank you, Kumiko, for an enjoyable Sapporo tour!

Kumiko was an excellent guide. She took into account our interests, raining when tour started, and that we only had this one day to get in what we could. She proved to be flexible! Her English was very good, and easy to understand!! We would highly recommend her! It was a joy to be with her! We saw quite a lot and learned a lot about this local area.

We are so glad that we booked Kumiko to be our guide in Hokkaido. She was very accommodating and adjusted her plans to suit our needs. My husband and I felt Kumiko went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. We definitely will book with Kumiko again! Great service with a friendly personality.
