We were pleased to have met and been toured by Tomo on June 3 through Otaru city. We are able to enjoy and understand what he was saying, from history to food, and even to jokes in between. May we be toured by him once again, when we come back to Japan.
Hello Anjennette san!! Thank you very much for this great commnet! Yes, That was a fantastic meeting for us. The day has become really brilliant, and you guys were so nice. Oh thank you Anjennete san. We can meet soon again!! Take care!:)
A fun way to spend the day and easily see Otaru from Sapporo. Otaru is pretty easy to get to by train from Sapporo, but seeing all the sites on foot would require some effort. There is still some walking from the waterfront where we parked to the canals and quaint shopping area where glasswork and other souvenirs may be purchased. But a car made access to the overlooking Tengu Mountain quite easy. Also having a guide helped us visit certain stores we sought and also added a trip to the historic bank which we likely would have missed on our own. Also interesting was the steam clock which has a sister clock in Gastown, Vancouver which I had seen in the past.
Michael san, We have had fun time together! Your group were so amazing! and I was surprised your Knowledge about Japanese Culture. How did you learn such as the difference between Maiko and Geisya !? It was sometime very technical conversation but we really enjoyed it. We will improve our knowledge about Japanese culture more to explain in English more until next time when you guys come back for sure.kk See you soon , and please enjoy your travel !!
My wife and I booked the The Otaru tour and it completely exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Mr. Tomo, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the local history and culture. The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to see the city's historical sites and shops without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and we were even treated to some hidden gems and local eateries we never would have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hokkaido. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience on our tour with Tomo. He is very knowledgeable and has an excellent command of English, which made everything easy to understand and enjoyable. As it was a private tour, we had more flexibility and time to explore at our own pace, especially during the shopping stops, which made the experience even more fun. Tomo also brought us to a fantastic local seafood restaurant where the food was extremely fresh and delicious, with a beautiful view of the Sea of Japan. One of the highlights of the tour was visiting the top of Otaru Tenguyama Mountain. The breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Otaru City and the port was truly unforgettable. Overall, the tour was very well organized, enjoyable, and memorable. Tomo is not only a great guide but also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!
