Iramkarapte — Hello everyone! (“Iramkarapte” means “hello” in Ainu, the Indigenous language of Hokkaido.) I’m Josh, a local guide based in Hakodate, Hokkaido. I was born and raised up in Hakodate. I love traveling, taking photos, and discovering great local food wherever I go. My passion for languages started when I studied English in New Zealand, which opened my eyes to different cultures and perspectives. After returning to Japan, I majored in English and Tourism, joined a school trip to Canada, and later went back to New Zealand for a working holiday. These experiences deepened my love for connecting with people through travel. My language journey is still ongoing, and I’d love to share with you why Hakodate is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places in the world. On my days off, I enjoy relaxing in a cozy café with a good cup of coffee and planning my next adventure. I would be more than happy to show you the beauty of Hokkaido. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you,

Traveling by private vehicle ensures comfort and flexibility, allowing you to see Sapporo at your own pace. As your local guide, I’ll share insights and stories that bring the city to life.
