Great Winter wonderland experience

The snowshoe tour was an amazing one! Both Sumi and Taki were such gracious guides taking us through a magical winter wonderland. Sumi took excellent care to ensure we were well prepared and adequately comfortable throughout the walk in the woods. In addition the onsen we went to was fantastic as well. In all this was a great tour and I’d highly recommend it!

Operator response

Dear anuraag M, Thank you so much for the great review! It was a pleasure to take you on the trails and we are happy you enjoyed the day. See you again if you're in Hokkaido next time. Kind regards, Sumi and Taki

Great scenery, great snow

It probably helped that the weather was perfect. Blue skies, no wind. The scenery was terrific and the 2 hour trek on snow shoes was great fun. Not too taxing - very enjoyable

Operator response

Dear Trevor, Thank you so much for a great review! It was such a beautiful day and we could enjoy the peaceful moment in the untouched forest. See you again if you are in Hokkaido next time. Kind regards, Sumi

Excellent Trip with Sumi

We got tried after 10 mins walking using snowshoe gears, Sumi and her team went beyond the way to accommodate us to other places which they don’t need to that. Everything still awesome even without the snowshoes and onsen. We were able to experience perfect snows at asahiyama kinen park. Her service mindset and good attitude are the best.

Operator response

Dear Miki_N, Thank you for a great review! We are happy to know you enjoyed the day even without snowshoeing and onsen. Please come to see Hokkaido nature again! Best regards, Sumi and Takki Hokkaido Private Adventure

For anyone reading this, just do it. We all had a ball. Best part of our holiday. I wanted to do it again.

The whole experience was amazing. Sumi was the best guide knowledgeable, very outgoing and experienced guide. As a 76 year old Nanna, I found sliding and sledging down the slopes was exhilarating and my granddaughters had a blast. A surprise on the walk was a rare sighting if a black woodpecker, very lucky omen. The Onsen visit was also memorable with Sumi explaining the protocols and customs in great detail. Our thanks to Sumi - and Takki who accompanied us and he was so courteous and attentive, especially when I fell in a couple of snowdrifts!!! Thoroughly recommend it. Enjoyed every minute of it. 10 out of 10...

Operator response

Dear Barbara_M, Thank you so much for the great review! What a amazing day we all had with new experiences! Takki and I loved guiding you as well. Please keep in touch if you are planning to return Hokkaido again. Best regards, Sumi & Takki Hokkaido Private Adventure

Snowshoe Hike in Hokkaido

This is definitely a must-do in Hokkaido. The mountain was peaceful and safe. I never felt so calm. Our guide, Sumi, was thoughtful, fun, outdoorsy and intelligent. She speaks very good English since she lived in US for some time. We are her last Snowshoe Hike for the season.

Operator response

Hi Christine, Thank you so much for such a great review! I really appreciate it. What a wonderful day spent with you, and it was a pleasure to guide you to the beautiful forest in Hokkaido. Please get in touch next time you are back in Hokkaido! Thank you again for choosing us and wish all the best for you. Best regards, Sumi

Great day

What a great, fun day! Sumi was just excellent. She picked us up from the hotel, had all the gear that we need and took us on a stunning trail. She even had tea and little treats for a small pick me up half way through her tour. We ended the day at a beautiful onsen, surrounded by snow and had delicious curry. Absolutely fabulous

Operator response

Hi Ulla, Thank you so much for a great review! We got lucky with beautiful weather, and I really enjoyed guiding all your family. Please come again another season! Warm regards, Sumi

Highlight of our time in Hokkaido

Sumi's tour was the highlight of our time in Hokkaido area - She picked us up from our hotel, took us on an amazing snowshoe adventure, and even included a sled for our daughter to sled the hills and brought warm tea and snacks for our break. The ONSEN was magical and a perfect way to end the afternoon. Sumi was warm, engaged and such a pleasure to spend time with. We learned so much and really had an exciting day, ending the day with deep relaxation. Thank you Sumi!

Operator response

Thank you again for the great review and for choosing us! Kind regards, Sumi
