Hi there! I’ve been calling Sapporo home since 2017, and for the past 4 years, I’ve been guiding travelers through Hokkaido in a way that goes beyond the typical sightseeing experience. Originally from Spain, I’ve lived in Italy, Canada and Ireland before settling in Japan. This international background allows me to bridge cultures naturally, helping you not just visit Japan, but also understand it. Being part of a Japanese family and having close local connections has given me a more personal understanding of everyday life here.. My tours are designed to feel relaxed, personal, and flexible, but also thoughtfully curated. Over the years, I’ve built routes that combine must-see highlights with lesser-known spots, local stories, and experiences that give you a more authentic sense of Hokkaido. As a father of two young children, I also understand how to adapt tours for families, making sure everyone feels comfortable and engaged. Many of my guests are particularly interested in food and local culture and I often incorporate stops that reflect that — from fresh seafood markets to hidden local gems and craft beer spots. If you’re looking for a tour that feels less like a checklist and more like exploring the region with someone who truly lives here, I’d be happy to show you around.

Overview of your Sapporo tour

This exclusive 6-day private winter experience is designed for travelers seeking the very best of Hokkaido's snowy landscapes, with comfort and luxury in mind. Your journey begins the moment you land — a private transfer from New Chitose Airport to your Sapporo hotel sets the tone for a seamless, door-to-door experience, with no train schedules, delays, or cancellations to worry about. Over four full days, we explore Sapporo's winter highlights, the romantic canal town of Otaru, the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Noboribetsu Hell Valley, and the iconic Furano and Biei highlands, with stops at the mystical Blue Pond, Shirahige Waterfall, and the charming Ningle Terrace. A dedicated professional driver and private vehicle ensure every transfer is safe and exceptionally comfortable throughout Hokkaido's winter season. On your final day, a private airport transfer returns you to New Chitose Airport, closing your journey with the same elegance with which it began.
