札幌の歴史とグルメ散策ツアー

Our tour guide Katsue gave us a walking tour of Sapporo 7-3-2026. The weather was sunny and pleasant. She said this area was innovative in Japanese agriculture practices and development. Their pioneer spirit helped end the rule of the samurai in 1868. The samurai ruled for 150 years. We passed the former Hokkaida government red brick building, and the clock tower which are now museums. We ate a delicious rice bowl on our own at the Nijo fish market-it was like a mini-chirashi. Price was reasonable. We had sample sake and sake ice cream tasting at the sake museum. Aragato!¹

I was lucky enough to have the guide all to myself which meant we could spend more time at the places I found most interesting and plenty of time for photos. The guide was a great guy, spoke excellent clear English. My only disappointment was the day I went it was billed as ‘gourmet’ but there were no food tastings just sake at the end but this was a brand new tour when I did it in early March and so I expect they will change it to include food tastings or else rename it. Highly recommended as an easy way to see all the historic sights of Sapporo.

Akira proved to be an excellent tour guide for our walk around the key sights of Sapporo. His English is excellent and he is very knowledgeable about the history of the city.

Our guide was very good! She was knowledgeable and helpful and we also learned about Japanese culture which was wonderful! Seen all the main sights in Sapporo.
