I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido. Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature. I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.

¡Hola! Soy Hiromi Asada, guía de turismo oficial (español). Vivo en la ciudad de Sapporo de Hokkaido, la isla que está más al norte de Japón. Es famosa por su bella naturaleza, por los centros turísticos de invierno y la cultura del Ainu (indígena de Hokkaido). Me gustan mucho el deporte, la música, el vino, y por supuesto viajar. ¡Vamos a pasear juntos a conocer otro mundo!

Day trip to Otaru

Thanks Miyuki-San for the nice and carefree trip to Otaru. She was very accommodating to the group’s request and shared good suggestions for places to eat and buy snack. Hope to see you again in another season, Miyuki!

Dear Yoke san Thank you for having me as a guide. It was very nice day in Otaru. I am glad you and your friends enjoyed Otaru tour. It was a great idea to have late breakfast at fish market when it was not very crowded. I hope you have another opportunity to come back to Hokkaido in another season. Thanks million, Miyuki

Day trip to Otaru

Kumiko met me on time in the hotel lobby and proved to be an entertaining guide, generous with sharing her expertise and knowledge of Japanese culture, particularly that of Hokkaido. I had a wonderful day with her and totally recommend her as a guide.

A Beautiful City

This was our second tour with Miyuki and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. Otaru is quite beautiful and even more so as it was snowing. We never felt rushed with Miyuki and she was happy to let us look in any of the shops that we passed and even encouraged us to do so. My adult daughter was particularly impressed as other guides have rushed us past shops. We were booked to make glass beads however the shop was not open at the time Miyuki had booked. This did not deter her as she adjusted the itinerary to have lunch and tried to find another venue. We ended up at the original shop at a later time and it was a lot of fun. Our final stop was the sake brewery and after showing us through Miyuki went back to collect our bead creations so we didn’t have to backtrack. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day thanks to Miyuki.

Miyuki I.

Thank YOU again. I really appreciate your warm comments for our trip. I can’t thank you enough. I hope you have another chance to come and see beautiful nature in Hokkaido with your family. Millions thanks, Miyuki
