Overview

Enjoy a private tour for the travelers covering Hokkaido’s biggest and most famous city, Sapporo. With a local guide, you will receive local Japanese hospitality.

Itinerary

Nijo Market

After leaving your accommodation, you will first visit the famous Nijo Market. This market is popularly known as the kitchen of Sapporo, with the best of seasonal seafood, fruits, and other specialties on display as you walk around.

25 minutes
Shiroi Koibito Park

After Nijo market, you’ll ride the subway to the “White Lovers” (known in Japanese as “Shiroi Koibito”) Park. In this theme park, you will find an overflowing of candy charm, plus factory tours and of course the "white lover" confection itself, an institution in Hokkaido. You’ll not only enjoy a candy making experience, but also a learning one, specifically about the history of the brand and company, including a display of valuable antique cups. It goes without saying that there will be lots of chances to enjoy the chocolate, be it white, brown, or black.

1 hour
Miyanomori Ski Jump Stadium

After lunch, by subway and bus we will visit Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium. Okurayama is well known as the ski jump venue during the 1972 Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, but even now many international ski jumping competitions are held. Ride the lift to the 307m summit and admire the city of Sapporo and the Ishikari Plain spreading out before you. During winter, you can enjoy a particularly superb view, with the pure white snow dazzling the scene around you. Beneath the 307m summit’s observatory is the starting line for the ski jump. Here you can realistically experience the jumper’s feeling before they make their run. After enjoying the ski jump stadium, the tour will end with a return to your accommodations. With our local guide leading the way, enjoy Sapporo to your heart's content during this splendid one day tour.

Great One Day Highlights Tour with Akiko

Published on Mar, 2024

Thank you so much to Akiko for the wonderful tour! Akiko is a very friendly and helpful guide. Akiko met me at my hotel and we first went to the Sapporo Clock Tower. After that we went to Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium and went to the top of the mountain which has a great view of Sapporo. Next we had lunch at a Ramen restaurant in Susukino district. Lastly, we went to Shiroikoibito Park (White Lovers Park) chocolate factory. I had a great time seeing Sapporo and I highly recommend this tour!

Splendid Sapporo with Expert Guide

Published on Mar, 2024

We have the absolute highest praise and gratitude for our Sapporo guide, Chieko, who proudly showed us many splendid highlights of Sapporo and patiently answered all of our many questions (as new arrivals to Japan). Our favourite parts were Olympic Ski Jump (amazing), chocolate factory (yummy), fish markets (wow, to see the seafood!), and learning how to catch public transport successfully. Thanks. Our major delight was our delicious lunch curries and ramen at Fukunoki restaurant- we all highly recommend! We are Hugely Thankful to Chieko for her friendly, accommodating hospitality.

Best Sapporo walk and commute tour from a real local!

Published on Jan, 2024

We couldn't have gotten a better Sapporo guide, and trip designer - Ms. Chieko!!! Our family immediately felt comfortable upon meeting Chieko, as if she was a long-time Sapporo family friend giving us her city's winter tour. She has a good command of the English language to conduct the tour with all her local and historical knowledge of Sapporo and Hokkaido, but still has the Japanese accent when she talks so that makes it all the more authentic. From our hotel, we went on a walking tour to see Former Hokkaido Government Office (it's remodeling), the Sapporo Clock Tower and Odori Park. From there, we took the subway and bus, and went to Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium used during the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. After all that snow we were ready for something hot for our tummies, so Chieko took us to Ganso Ramen alley in Susukino, where we had sumptuous bowls at a place visited by Anthony Bourdain. Warm and refreshed, we walked along the TanukiKoji Shopping Street and oogled fresh seafood at Nijo Fish Market. Finally, we ended the day at Shiroi Koibito Park or Chocolate Factory. We're a well-travelled family and have taken tours in many parts of the world, and can say the Chieko is one of the best. She knows Sapporo like the back of her hand to give you local feel and vibe while doing the walking and commuting by bus and subway. We highly recommend this tour and Chieko!

Day Tour In Snowy Sapporo

Published on Dec, 2023

Chieko was an excellent guide showing the highlights of Sapporo under snowfall. Transportation around was taken care of and she was able to answer any questions that came to mind. If you are visiting Sapporo any time of the year, I highly recommend taking this tour.

Perfect winter holiday

Published on Dec, 2023

My family is very lucky to have Chieko as our local guide. We covered the popular places in Sapporo and helped us took many memorable family pics! Her time management is excellent. She ensured we get to eat halal lunch on time and catch the buses/trains promptly without wasting time. Her friendliness and warmth made us very comfortable and she shared many interesting facts abt the local culture and history. She speaks well and is willing to go all out to help us maximize our time. We made the right choice to engage a local guide as first-timers because it makes sightseeing totally stress free! Places visited includes: clock tower, tv tower, odori park, chocolate factory, ski jump olympic stadium, shopping street mall and nijo market. Thank you Chieko for everything you've done for us!
