Kei was a fantastic guide that helped us discover many local hotspots that we would have never found on our own. He did a great job accommodating our family which included two members in their 70s. He adjusted the trip to reduce walking and scouted each location for elevator access. In our tour we ate ramen, sushi, izakaya, and ice cream. We were full and satisfied by the end, just the right amount of food. At each location Kei did all the ordering and made some fantastic choices. At the end of our tour he walked us back to our hotel to make sure we found our way home. Kei helped make sure our first night in Sapporo was memorable, we can’t thank him enough.
Thanks Taiga-san for the nice night out. I'm glad we got to try out a few Sapporo specialties and an excellent yoru parfait to end the night!
We had a lovely evening enjoying the local food and great conversation. Thank you!
My partner and I went on the food tour with our guide Tsuru. He was incredibly enthusiastic, friendly, and had a lot of local knowledge of the area. He took us to his favourite local spots, including an izakaya with all you can eat dishes and drinks. We stayed there for about an hour, and it was the perfect setting for great conversations. We also went to some outdoor food stalls across the street from Nijo market that sold delicious yakitori. Because we were a very small group, Tsuru went above and beyond by customizing the itinerary for us. At our request, he took us to Norbesa to check out anime merchandise and gaming hardware, which we loved. We ended the tour with ice cream. We had a great time there!
We had a great time with Taiga! He was an amazing tour guide and took us to some very good restaurants. Would definitely do it again!
We had a great time with Tsoru as our guide. He brought a great energy to the night. We went into some restaurants that we would have never have accessed as tourists. We learned about both Japanese and native Hokkaido cuisine as well. He was also able to adjust the tour for our kids, showing us a fun place to go for sweets that the children in the area go to as well after school. We had more than enough to eat and drink as well.
Taiga was awesome. It was only my partner and myself, we wanted to try some new things and he knew just where to take us. You be crazy not to see him and let him show u an amazing time. Taiga thank you so much for making our Sapporo trip awesome!
Tsuru was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to delicious and unique places. 10/10 highly recommend.
Tsuru was our guide for the evening. Just brilliant. The variety and quality of food was excellent. What made the tour though was Tsuru, his personality, friendliness and local knowledge of the food and city. One of the best food tours we have been on. Highly recommended.
