Hello! I’m Maria, a licensed national tour guide based in Hokkaido. Originally, I’m from Tokyo, but I have lived in Hokkaido for over 20 years, and this beautiful northern island has truly become my home. My guiding focus is mainly on Hakodate, but I am well-versed in the entire Hokkaido region, from its stunning mountains and lakes to the charming coastal towns and hidden gems off the beaten path. Hokkaido is famous for its incredible nature. You can see a variety of wildlife, enjoy pristine landscapes, go hiking or skiing, and experience outdoor activities all year round. Beyond nature, Hokkaido is also rich in culture and history, with unique local traditions, festivals, and historic sites waiting to be discovered. And of course, Hokkaido’s food is a major highlight—from fresh seafood and dairy products to local specialties like soup curry and Jingisukan, there’s something to delight every palate. If you want to explore Hokkaido more deeply, experience authentic local life, and enjoy nature, culture, and cuisine beyond the typical sightseeing spots, I would be thrilled to guide you. My goal is to help you truly feel and understand what makes this region so special, creating unforgettable memories along the way. With a warm smile and enthusiasm, I look forward to welcoming you to Hokkaido and sharing the best of what this amazing region has to offer. Let’s discover Hokkaido together and make your trip an unforgettable experience!
