I highly recommend this tour! I was able to see and do so much more than I anticipated in the short amount of time we were in port. Takeki was very friendly and knowledgeable. His suggestions really enhanced the whole tour!

Dear guests, I am Takeki, nicknamed Taki-san. I am accustomed to explaining something to others because I had been a high school teacher for more than thirty years and after that, I have been a national government licensed guide-interpreter in English. Speaking in front of guests is a piece of cake for me. My guiding and hospitality have always been highly appreciated by the guests. I am knowledgable everywhere in Hokkaido, especially in Sapporo, Otaru, and Muroran. Every year, besides my teaching job at school, I guide a lot of guests from abroad, the number of days for which I spend will be more than 50-100 each year. My risk control during my guide tour has always been perfect. No guests have been injured during my tours, which is very important to make the tour comfortable and a nice memory in your life. All my guests will be safe in my leadership. Taki-san will guarantee perfect satisfaction to all the guests. And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote.

Traditional Sapporo tour by using public transportation or a private car
Overview of your Sapporo tour
Sapporo is very modern and the fifth biggest city in Japan with the population of about two million. Just about one hundred and fifty years ago, however, there were only forests and wild animals there. This city has been quickly developed, and, at the same time, historically important buildings and facilities have been well preserved. Modern and historical aspects of this city will attract you. Former Hokkaido Government Office Building or Akarenga and Sapporo Clock Tower will show you how Sapporo city has become what it is. Hokkaido Shinto Shrine will show you what the Japanese traditional religion is like. The view from Odori park will show you how modern Sapporo is. Hokkaido University Campus is a very good spot for you to learn about the most advanced academic outcomes and the early times of Sapporo development.

Takeki was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very flexible in organizing itinerary for our private group. We made a few changes due to the weather and he tried to provide us with the best itinerary. His English is fluent and clear. It was a good 5 hour tour with him

Taki San is an excellent guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and patiently helped plan my tour, and even took into consideration some special dietary requirements I had. I asked lots of questions during the tour and he was eager to discuss Japanese culture, practices, and provided lots of insights into his amazing country. He was also flexible: we made a change to the itinerary mid-tour. Highly recommend!
