Hello! I am an American male bi-lingual (English & Japanese) tour guide based/living in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. I have lived here several decades and I am very familiar with the best places to see in Sapporo and outside of Sapporo/ other areas of Hokkaido. I can take you to the standard/well known sightseeing spots as well as "off the beaten path spots" that many overseas guests are unaware of. My tours are fun, on schedule, informative and transportation-wise very timely and smooth. Less time commuting and more time at location enjoying each point of interest. I have many years of experience guiding tours in Sapporo and out to other areas of Hokkaido as well. Most of my tours are 1 day tours usually starting at 8 or 9a.m. and concluding between 6:00-6:30p.m. I use public transportation (buses, JR trains, and subways). For guided tours with only 1 traveler or small groups of 2-3 travelers, my private car is available for use. Meet up location is usually at Sapporo Station in the morning but I can arrange to meet you in the lobby of your hotel if requested. I look forward to guiding you here in Sapporo and throughout Hokkaido!

Half Day walk through Hokkaido's capital
Overview of your Sapporo tour
This 1-Day Walking Tour in Sapporo is perfect for travelers who want to experience the city’s history up close and at a comfortable pace. It’s not just a sightseeing walk, it’s a deep dive into Sapporo’s past, giving you context and connection to the city you won’t get from guidebooks alone. This tour offers the perfect mix of education, culture, and leisurely exploration. Unlike large group tours that rush you from one spot to the next, this is a small, personal walking experience led by someone who has lived in Sapporo, Japan for decades and knows Sapporo inside out. I’ll share not just historical facts, but also insider stories, cultural insights, and hidden details you won’t find in guidebooks. You’ll have time to ask questions, explore at a relaxed pace, and discover both the famous sights and the charming corners most visitors miss. I can customize this tour according to any specific requests you may have.
